Opinion on a Bill on medical treatment of infertility

Summary/Abstract: The Act responds to an urgent and important social need. It is also indispensable to implement the EU directives mentioned in the explanatory note to the bill. The bill draws on the acquis communautaire and seems to correspond to the requirements of the directives, as well as the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine of 1997. The lack of regulation of the procedures, particularly medical procedure of in vitro fertilization, currently results in inability of control the operation of clinics carrying out this kind of medical treatment. There is, however, need to clarify the proposed legislation, including the definition of partner donation, fertility security for the future, phenotypic data, anonymous embryo donation, the use of embryos after the death of the donor. The bill should specify the maximum age for a woman who wishes to undergo in vitro fertilization. It should also specify the attributes of an offense involving the destruction of the embryo which was created out of the medical procedure. The bill needs more work.
