In a first-of-its-kind case, the Court has granted legal permission for one of our patients to use her late husband’s cryopreserved sperm to conceive a sibling for their only child. Her husband, who tragically passed away from cancer, had frozen his sperm prior to undergoing treatment. At the time, South African health legislation contained no provision supporting the posthumous use of gametes, leaving our patient in a legal and ethical limbo.
Vitalab stood alongside her in challenging the legislative gap, advocating for the right to fulfil the couple’s mutual desire to grow their family. This victory not only honours the personal wishes of the couple but also sets an important legal precedent for other families in similar circumstances.
“This ruling represents a significant step forward for reproductive autonomy and the recognition of modern family dynamics,” said Dr. Lawrence Gobetz. “We hope it will prompt meaningful discussions around reforming health laws to reflect the realities and needs of today’s families.”

Vitalab remains committed to pioneering ethical, compassionate fertility care and advancing legal clarity in reproductive health.
