The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in New Zealand is governed by the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004 (the HART Act), which provides for all procedures currently undertaken by fertility clinics and other centres involved with ART. Although the Act has provided good coverage for the use of ART over the last 16 years, it did not have a revision clause. Here, we explore whether the HART Act should be reviewed, and outline the important considerations that need to be taken into account to ensure that the legislation is up to date with current issues and technologies.

In New Zealand, posthumous reproduction is regulated by the Human Assisted Reproductive Technology Act 2004 (HART Act), which established two bodies, the Advisory Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ACART) and the Ethics Committee on Assisted Reproductive Technology (ECART). In 2000, the predecessor of ECART, the National Ethics Committee on Assisted Human Reproduction (NECAHR), issued "Guidelines for the Storage, Use, and Disposal of Sperm from a Deceased Man" designed to provide a legal framework for this technology. However, a recent application to the High Court by the partner of a man who unexpectedly died, requesting permission to have sperm retrieved from the deceased and the subsequent judgment handed down by the High Court in 2017,  have highlighted the shortcomings of the current posthumous reproduction regulations. This has led to a recent consultation process by ACART to review and revise the guidelines. Relying on Re Lee, the landmark judgment of the High Court that found in favour of granting the permission sought and which sheds light on the legal aspects of posthumous reproduction in New Zealand, the current article discusses the approach endorsed by the HART Act regarding consent for posthumous retrieval and use of gametes.
