The continuous development of artificial assisted reproductive technology has solved the fertility problems of some families,but it also causes the ethical and legal difficulties in the disposal of frozen embryos in vitro.There is generally a time difference between in vitro embryo formation and implantation.In judicial practice,couples who adopt embryo transfer for birth,if the parents or both die,divorce or other uncertain factors,how to properly deal with the frozen embryos in vitro has become a judicial problem.China's existing legal system does not clearly stipulate the attributes of in vitro frozen embryos.The determination of the legal attribute of in vitro frozen embryos should take into account the social ethical order,individual basic rights and the special protection of women's families.Therefore,it is of great theoretical and practical significance to clarify the legal regulation path of the disposal of in vitro frozen embryos and to properly handle the relationship between law and social ethics.
