Abstract
In recent decades, the scientific progress and social changes influenced immensely procreation and parenthood. In vitro fertilization, sperm donation, surrogacy, DNA testing, anonymous and secret motherhood or baby boxes are only some of the still hot issues influencing families and family law worldwide. Due to the sensitivity of those matters, it is no wonder that legislation often handles them very cautiously. Some of those practices thrive in a reality but are to a great extend ignored or silently tolerated by Czech legislator and courts (e.g. surrogacy, baby-boxes). Others are strictly or rigidly regulated by Czech legislation (e.g. in vitro fertilization, secret motherhood, DNA testing in relation to fatherhood determination) but the reality appears much more liberal and flexible. The paper explores patterns in Czech legislator’s attitude toward those sensitive issues and assesses the extent to which different approaches achieve intended aims. The paper advocates the view that more proactive approach would reflect contemporary social reality and protect family and its members.
