About NewKindred
NewKindred Nigeria Institute for the Law, Policy & Ethics of Assisted Parenthood exists to build professional competence, advance scholarship and support responsible law and policy development in assisted parenthood. Developments in fertility medicine and modern family formation are generating complex legal issues faster than traditional areas of practice have adapted to them. NewKindred helps close this gap.
Our Mission
To build professional competence, advance scholarship and contribute to responsible law and policy development in assisted parenthood.
