Through the Lens of the Third Phase Reproductive Technologies
from Part I - Life Sciences and Human Rights
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 May 2022
This chapter discusses the right to have a child in the context of the latest developments of the reproductive technologies. According to the author, while no one can be legitimately deprived of the right to have a child, this statement does not equate to claiming a positive right to have a child. This question has become more complicated since the first in vitro baby was born in 1978 and as more and more new reproductive technologies have been developed since then. In particular, ethical dilemmas emerge when in vitro fertilization involves donated gametes, or when the intending mother needs a surrogate mother because she does not have a womb. Legal regulations of surrogacy agreements vary from total ban to acceptance, or simply remain silent on their legitimacy. In this diverse legal landscape, Sandor discusses on the ethical legal framework of the claims to have access to the latest reproductive services, including those technologies that replace or transplant the human womb.
