“…Both clinicians and patients should be guided as to its utilization to aid in shared decision-making. [6] Not all countries who have ART facilities have policies on posthumous reproduction, the Philippines among those without [7] . Many participants have expressed the need for the creation of legal provisions in the country to govern such a practice.…”

The ethical guidelines of the National Society of Certified Fertility Specialists, the Philippine Society for Reproductive Medicine, were reviewed 5 years after its publication to determine if there was a change in the views of the current members. The 2016 guideline document was converted into 75 Delphi statements, and the level of agreement with each statement was determined after 3 rounds. One hundred twenty-six members of the national society were invited to participate. Voting was conducted using an online Google form or using a self-administered printed questionnaire. The level of agreement with each statement was measured using a 5-point Likert scale. A panel discussion of speakers in theology, law, and medical ethics, as well as stakeholders represented by an infertility patient and from the LGBTQ community, was held before the last Delphi round. The response rate for the first Delphi round was 94%, and the second and third rounds were at 98%. A consensus was achieved in 66 of the 75 Delphi statements. Statements on preimplantation genetic testing, posthumous reproduction, cryopreservation, and third-party reproduction failed to achieve consensus.

The field of fertility preservation (FP) for oncology patients has evolved significantly in recent years, offering new possibilities for individuals with life-threatening illnesses. We commend Jones et al. for their comprehensive ethical review of offering FP to patients with poor prognoses, acknowledging the potential benefits that it may bring. “Poor prognosis” in this context implies a high likelihood of death due to cancer progression. We highlight the importance of considering posthumous reproduction, involving the use of cryopreserved gametes or embryos to conceive a child after one or both partners have passed away, a topic briefly mentioned by Jones et al. Posthumous reproduction raises complex ethical, logistical, and legal questions. Distinctions between cryopreserved sperm and oocytes are discussed, with each scenario presenting unique challenges. The article also examines the complexities faced by same-sex couples in posthumous reproduction, addressing issues related to donor selection, legal parentage, and rights. Legal and regulatory aspects play a crucial role, including obtaining clear and legally valid consent, defining parental rights, navigating surrogacy laws, and addressing inheritance and estate planning. Ethical dilemmas require healthcare professionals to ensure informed decision-making, consider psychological impacts, and offer information on alternative family-building options.
