ATTORNEY GENERAL OF CANADA ACCESS TO ASSISTED CONCEPTION: A CALL FOR LEGISLATIVE REFORM IN LIGHT OF THE MODERN FAMILY Lisa Feldstein* Abstract: This paper explores the impact of laws regarding assisted conception and the discriminatory effect these laws have in light of non-traditional family forms. Specifically, it considers the Processing and Distribution of Semen for Assisted Conception Regulations and how these regulations serve to exclude certain individuals who do not fit into the traditional nuclear family model. The author critiques the judgement of Susan Doe v. Attorney General of Canada and calls for legislative reform in order for the laws to accurately reflect realities of the family in the 21 century. Lisa Feldstein wrote this paper during her second year at Osgoode Hall Law School. She is currently an articling student at Dykeman Dewhirst O'Brien LLP. She would like to thank Professor Mossman, her family law professor, for providing feedback on this paper.
