Reproductive rights, assisted reproduction, surplus embryos, oocytes vitrification.Abstract
Today, technological advancement is closely tied to the means of acquiring power and lacks evaluative constructs. It justifies the growing need for a further strengthening of the legal protection of the extracorporeal embryo so that the Principle of Human Dignity is effectively implemented. The objective of this research is to define the reproductive rights. In a second moment, starting from the assumption that the extra-corporeal embryo is a person and, therefore, subject of personal rights, it intends to demonstrate the unconstitutionality of the production of surplus embryos and to propose the replace of this practice by the cryopreservation of oocytes vitrification - a promising new technique for assisted human reproduction. The legal proposed research is both comprehensive and purposeful.
