Art. 15 Preservation of reproductive cells

1 Re­pro­duct­ive cells may be pre­served only with the writ­ten con­sent of the per­son from whom they were ob­tained, and for a max­im­um of five years. At the re­quest of this per­son, the pre­ser­va­tion peri­od shall be ex­ten­ded by a max­im­um of five years.33

2 A longer pre­ser­va­tion peri­od may be agreed with per­sons who have their re­pro­duct­ive cells pre­served with a view to pro­du­cing their own off­spring at a later date be­cause med­ic­al treat­ment they un­der­go or an activ­ity they carry out could lead to in­fer­til­ity or dam­age to their ge­net­ic ma­ter­i­al.

3 The per­son from whom the re­pro­duct­ive cells are ob­tained may, at any time, in writ­ing, re­voke con­sent to their pre­ser­va­tion and use.

4 If con­sent is re­voked or the pre­ser­va­tion peri­od ex­pires, then the re­pro­duct­ive cells are to be des­troyed im­me­di­ately.

33 Amended by No I of the FA of 12 Dec. 2014, in force since 1 Sept. 2017 (AS 2017 3641; BBl 2013 5853).
