Materials and methods: The legislation of the European Union, the USA, Great Britain, New Zealand, Spain, Germany, Ukraine, the statistical data published by the internationalorganizations are analyzed. In the course of the research a systemic, axiological approach and methods of analysis, synthesis, generalization were used.

Conclusions: It is proved that reproductive interference in the autonomy of the deceased in order to have a child is possible only on law basis, and in its absence - by a joint decision of the council of doctors, family lawyers, relatives of the deceased, taking into account the moral principles of society, public interests, rights and interests and other constituents (other heirs). It is emphasized that the origin of a postmortem child can be established based on a court decision. It is emphasized that post-mortem children should not have any discrimination; they are equal with other children. It was found that the system of rights of postmortem children includes personal non-property rights of a child (right to life, health, name, surname of biological parents); property rights (right to inheritance, right to social security). The primary is the system of non-property rights that ensure the physical and social life of the postmortem child.
