dc.descriptionIn 1978 in England, the In vitro fertilisation technique was first launched as a research project to determine whether a baby can be born using controlled laboratory conditions. Following the success of the first baby Louise Brown to be born under this technique, In vitro fertilisation was adopted as a method of reproduction. There are three main elements in IVF: induction of ovulation, fertilization of the oocyte (a woman’s egg that has not been fertilized and are found in the ovaries) 3 and the transfer of embryos into the uterus. 4 The process outlined below aims to provide a clear understanding on the procedures in IVF.en_US
dc.description.abstractAssisted Reproduction Technologies is a fairly new concept in Kenya especially when it comes to In Vitro Fertilisation (IVF). In Kenya today, IVF is an emerging area with approximately 2,000 babies born from the procedure. 1 However, there is no judicial scrutiny on the processes in IVF procedures especially on the cryopreservation of pre-embryos after fertilisation. This study aims to bridge the gap between consent forms and the disposition of embryos in IVF procedures. The issue of disposition of embryos brings the debate on the personhood verses the contractual approach which this study shall address. This will be done through academic commentaries and natural jurisprudence. Furthermore, this study will view plausible approaches that various jurisdictions have used to address this issue. Lastly, the study will conclude with recommendations guided by Article 26 of the Constitution of Kenya.en_US
