In Medically Assisted Reproduction (MAR), sciences such as Medicine, Biology, Law, and Bioethics converge. It involves doctors, geneticists, lawyers, philosophers, as well as the ordinary person who wishes to have children when they cannot do so naturally.
It is the field that starts from the basic human need for the perpetuation of the species and leads to future unimaginable medical and technological achievements.
In this book, 17 distinguished Greek legal experts and one geneticist answer questions such as:
- Who can access MAR?
- Can single men, single women, or same-sex parents access it?
- What are the rights and status of parents, donors of genetic material, surrogate mothers, and the child that will be born?
- What is posthumous artificial fertilization? Cryopreservation? Preimplantation Genetic Testing?
- Is there a screening process for donors of genetic material?
- Is there a limit on the number of births from the same donor?
- How is genetic material handled? When is it destroyed?
- What are MAR Units and Cryopreservation Banks, and how do they operate?
- What is the responsibility of doctors, Units, and donors?
- What are the administrative and criminal penalties in case of law violations?
- What is the role of the National Authority for MAR?
For the first time in Greece, all the above - and many more - issues are included in one book, and as the editor of the work and former Vice President of the National Authority for MAR writes, the purpose of the book was not only the doctrinal processing of the issues but also the resolution of practical issues through the interpretation of the existing legal framework.
