CANTU-QUINTANILLA, Guillermo et al. Comparative study of the knowledge of IVF in medical students of universities with different ethical and humanistic values. pers.bioét. [online]. 2020, vol.24, n.2, pp.166-176.  Epub Nov 27, 2020. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2020.24.2.4.

In vitro fertilization (IVF) continues to be presented as a relatively simple solution to produce a pregnancy without exposing the medical and ethical problems that this represents. This project consisted of conducting a survey to medical students from three medical schools in Mexico City with different ethical and humanistic ideas with the aim of evaluating knowledge about IVF techniques and their ethical implications. The survey was applied to 404 medical students. Students in schools with personalistic ethics had a greater recognition of the bioethical principles involved in the use of these techniques. Knowledge of the technique and ethical issues involved in assisted reproduction could improve the sensitivity of medical students to ethical dilemmas that arise in their professional practice.

Keywords : Fertilization in vitro; bioethics; students, medical; health personnel; ethics.
