While assisted reproductive technology has brought about new ways of reproduction, it has also brought about new legal issues. The clinical cases of widowed women in China using frozen embryo transfer technology for post-mortem reproduction are gradually increasing, and the debate on whether to open up donor assisted post-mortem embryo reproduction has also sparked heated discussions in the legal theory and practice circles. By combing the relevant cases of judicial adjudication and combining the social development situation in China, this paper puts forward suggestions and countermeasures for the plight of widowed women in the frozen embryo transfer technology, with a view to protecting the rights and interests of widowed women, the deceased and children, and promoting the process of improving the legislation of assisted reproduction in China.
