| description | The subject. The article examines a constitutional conflict arising between a citizen and the state on the issue of assigning social support measures to children, who were conceived and born after the death of the insured person (posthumous reproduction).

The author examines the following constitutional aspects of posthumous reproduction:– the risk of a constitutional conflict arising in connection with posthumous reproduction;– the limits and conditions for the exercise of the right to reproductive choice in posthumous reproduction.The purpose of the article: to identify the constitutional risks of using cryopreservation technology of genetic material and posthumous reproduction, which may, under certain conditions, lead to the emergence of constitutional conflicts. And also to propose measures aimed at preventing such constitutional conflicts.The methodology of the study includes general scientific methods (analysis, synthesis, description) and legal methods, method of constitutional conflict diagnosis. In addition to this, historical method was also applicable.
