Turkey bans trips abroad for artificial insemination


While artificial insemination has always been outlawed in Turkey, on moral and religious grounds, those who wanted treatment, around 100 or so women, travelled abroad to achieve pregnancy, often to neighbouring Greece.


However, new regulations on artificial insemination posted in the Official Gazette included a provision prohibiting women from going abroad for a service that is not available at home.


The new restrictions will prevent clinics acting as agencies for foreign facilities within Turkey.
