Full text
538. A parental project involving the use of the reproductive material of a third person is formed from the moment a person alone or spouses have decided, in order to have a child, to use the reproductive material of a person who is not party to the parental project and who agrees to their material being used for that purpose.
The reproductive material may be provided through assisted procreation activities carried out in a centre for assisted procreation. The material may also be provided through artisanal insemination or sexual intercourse.
The parental project comprises all children born of it and it must not entail their being dissociated.
