Ukrainian soldiers will be able to store their reproductive cells in cryobanks for free. The law provides that during martial law, military personnel will have the right to collect, cryopreserve and store their reproductive cells free of charge.
Thus, Ukrainian military personnel will be able to become biological parents, even if they lose reproductive functions as a result of injury, trauma or concussion.
People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported on his social networks that “parliament generally supported Oksana Dmitrieva’s bill No. 8011 on the creation of state guarantees to preserve the possibility of biological paternity/maternity for defenders and defenders of Ukraine in the event of their receiving injuries affecting reproductive functions.
This document establishes the possibility of donating reproductive material and then using it, but does not solve the problem of cryopreservation and use of reproductive cells in the event of death at the front.
Since the beginning of the war, some private clinics have stored free of charge the reproductive cells of those who went to defend their homeland.
A person donating his reproductive material fills out a document indicating who he is leaving it to and for how long: a year, two, a lifetime. He may note that only he has the right to dispose of it. Or he may wish that, say, after three years his cells go to a common bank. However, this can only be with the consent of the patient,” People’s Deputy Dmitrieva, one of the initiators of the law adopted by the Council, previously told Zerkala Nedeli.
