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

Dewhirst O'Brien LLP. She would like to thank Professor Mossman,
her family law professor, for providing feedback on this paper.
