Abstract

ZALDIVAR MARRON, Sonia. Theoretical and legal analysis of assisted reproduction techniques: special reference to the Latin American context. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2022, vol.22, n.2, pp.149-163.  Epub Dec 31, 2022. ISSN 1657-4702.  https://doi.org/10.18359/rlbi.5940.

the use of assisted reproduction is increasing every day with more effective results; the present investigation takes as a starting point the analysis of these procedures from the point of view of legal science, exposing the process of apprehension by the law of these issues and the fundamental legislative positions on the impacts that bio-scientific development has brought to international law. Its most frequent implementation has generated controversy in the medical and ethical fields and consequently in the area of law; the regulation and selection of the techniques used, the access to them, and their application, are linked to human rights and are legally relevant questions that cannot be avoided in view of the magnitude of the scientific progress they represent by themselves. It is necessary to regulate them with a less restrictive and conservative vision that covers the greatest possible number of legal relationships, with family models and personal fulfillment, based on respect for human rights and legal principles and values.

Keywords : assisted reproductive techniques; human rights; principles and values of law.
