Abstract
Posthumous assisted reproduction (PAR), or conception after death, is of significant ethical debate. This thesis seeks to explore and evaluate the major ethical considerations concerning PAR. Autonomy, considered the most important ethical principle, holds a majority of the weight in this evaluation; it is not the sole topic on deciding whether to permit a request for PAR. In addition to the autonomy of the deceased, the discussion focuses on stakeholders, justice, and welfare of the child in regard to PAR. Application of these ethical principles allows for a holistic review of a PAR request, and ensures the best possible outcome for each request.
