The Nordic welfare states are among some of the countries in the world, whEre the new reproductive technologies are mostly widespread. However, the legal regulation on new reproductive technologies, and the family Policies that has been developed due to the Implementation of new reproductive technologies, differs between the countries. We will investigate and compare, how inclusion and exclusion of different types of parenting, children, and family constellations, historically and in current time, has formed the existing policies within the Nordic welfare states. Questions of interest will be: What are the differences and similarities in the use of new reproductive technologies within the different Nordic countries? What is the historical background, for the existing differences? Which influence has the welfare state had on family policies developed, as part of the regulations on the use of new reproductive technologies? And what consequences does the existing policies have on families everyday life?
