Abstract

The increasing use of in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology and embryo cryopreservation presents new legal challenges, especially regarding embryo frozen storage agreements in Indonesia. Currently, this agreement is categorized as an innominaat agreement based on the principle of freedom of contract (Article 1338 of the Civil Code), but there is no specific regulation governing it. This study analyzes embryo frozen storage agreements from the perspective of Indonesian Civil Law. This study uses a normative juridical method through literature study, with secondary data derived from laws and regulations, legal literature, and other relevant sources, as well as qualitative analysis of the collected data. The results of the study indicate that the validity of the agreement depends on the fulfillment of the requirements in Article 1320 of the Civil Code, namely agreement, capacity, certain objects (the legal status of embryos is still debated), and lawful cause. The rights and obligations of the parties (husband and wife and clinic) must be clearly regulated, including safe storage, costs, instructions for use/destruction, time period, and comprehensive informed consent. Important clauses include duration, costs, liquidation/destruction procedures, responsibilities, and dispute resolution. Cancellation or termination of the agreement can occur for various reasons, including expiration of time, default, or change in marital status.
