An ethical and juridical characteristics of a fertility protection for the future.
Journal Title: Polish Law Review - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The act on treatment of infertility passed on 25th June 2015, regulates, inter alia, rules for collecting germ cells from patients in order to perform the procedures of medically assisted procreation specified in the act. Collection of gametes, apart from the compliance with medical criteria, also requires an informed consent expressed by a patient who is a donor.<br/><br/>Moreover, the legislator specified an additional germ cells collection mode to protect fertility in the future. Doubts are created here not only as to the establishment of such institution, but also as to admissibility of gametes collection based on the so-called surrogate consent, formulated by a statutory representative or in the form of an authorisation granted by a guardianship court. Laid down by the act admissibility of germ cells collection without a prior consent expressed by the entities referred to above and subsequent filing of a motion in court for the authorisation, is a separate subject.<br/><br/>The primary aim of the paper is to consider legal structure of fertility protection for the future, and consequently to examine compatibility of legislative solutions, applied in the act on infertility treatment with the standards of a democratic state with the rule of law, specified in the Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 2nd April 1997, in particular in relation to the right to privacy and the principle of proportionality.<br/><br/>
