How Halacha Defines Parenthood

Hello Everyone,

Last week I introduced the subject of defining parenthood in the Halacha by discussing the recent case in Israel; the Asuta hospital mishap.

Today we will discuss the the competing theories regarding the use of a sperm donor by a woman whose husband is sterile. I hope that by the end of today’s session we will understand how Halachic authorities resolve issues which involve scientific advances., such as IVF.
