Assisted reproduction. Past, present and future in the Bioethics debate
Journal Title: Revista Científica Estudiantil de Ciencias Médicas de Matanzas - Year 2021, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Assisted reproductive techniques provided a solution to one of the most distressing medical problems: infertility, but at the same time they implied multiple problems from the bioethical point of view during its scientific evolution. For this reason, the authors set the objective of the present review: to identify the bioethical dilemmas that arise in the practice of assisted reproduction. 29 scientific articles and one doctoral thesis were reviewed. The bioethical bases contributed to the solution of these problems and in some cases to deny the application of some techniques. It was concluded that the ethical dilemma in assisted reproduction has different aspects from which to develop and absolutism is a position that the doctor cannot afford to have; each new aspect has to be analyzed with the necessary scientific basis, always preserving patient´s health and integrity.
