ABSTRACT

The recovery or collection of postmortem semen raises relevant ethical and social concerns. In this study we report 2 cases witnessed by the authors in an organ procurement organization in Brazil. The patients had a diagnosis of brain death, were organ donors, and had no consent for the use of postmortem sperm. In Brazil, the diagnosis of brain death has been clearly established since 1997, with the most recent update in 2017, but has not considered the possibility of the collection of sperm or eggs from the donor. A review of the world literature has been carried out, as well as current legislation in different countries, including Brazil, with special interest in the impact on the autonomy of the deceased (informed consent or not), the wife, the generation of the child and their rights, and the ethical role of the physician.
