Abstract

This paper aims to promote reflection on the practice of home insemination or self-insemination, regarding its legal implications, especially at the time of registering the child conceived. The text analyzes the parental implications of biological and genetic arrangements for those involved, seeking to clarify the differences between filiation status and genetic origin, considering the practice of home insemination. For the study, doctrinal and jurisprudential research was used, with analysis of texts and judicial decisions, focusing on the problems faced in registering children born in this context. The hypothetical-deductive method was used as the best methodological alternative to achieve the research result. One of the conclusive foundations of the research was the need for the home practice of procreation to be regulated, with the intention of reducing the problems that may emerge from it and, mainly, to protect children born from contexts like this, protection guided by the principles of responsible parenthood and the best interests of the child.
