Legal Regulation of Relations Arising in Connection with the Artificial Conception of Children

Abstract

The Soviet state's demographic policy is oriented toward improving the social living conditions of society and strengthening the legal guarantees regarding protection of the family. In the USSR the family is under the protection of the state, which demonstrates its concern for the family by providing and developing a broad network of child-care institutions, organizing and improving personal services and public dining facilities, paying grants on the birth of a child, providing children's allowances and benefits for large families, and furnishing other forms of family allowances and assistance (Article 53 of the Constitution).
