[Legal evaluation of heterologous insemination in the GRD].
Therapeutic heterologous inseminations violate neither the socialist law of the German Democratic Republic nor the standards of socialist moral. From the view of the G.D.R. family code and insemination child is considered as legitimate, as each other child born to a married couple. A later voidance of paternity because of the heterologous insemination is not possible for both, father and mother, from the very beginning disclaim it. According to the family code of the G.D.R. the donor is neither related to the child, nor his paternity can be determined later by legal proceedings. Because of this legal status insemination child or his parents cannot demand alimony from the sperm donor or the inseminator.
