Home / Sadly, my partner's son had died from a terminal disease, at the age of 16. My partner (his mother) would like to be allowed to extract his semen and hopefully have a grandchild through surrogacy. Is this legally possible?

Yes! The Family Court in Petach Tikva ruled on January 23rdd 2025 against the state position, that the parents of a minor who died at 17 and signed a “semen saver” (shomer zera) form will be allowed to extract his semen for fertilization (Family Case 50359-12-21)
