Falta de regulación de las técnicas de reproducción asistida en el Ecuador : tratamiento y criopreservación de embriones humanos.

Abstract

Scientific and genetic progress has helped to develop medicine and the field of prevention and diagnosis of diseases, however, and to the same extent of this advance, new doubts are generated regarding what human beings can do and how far they can intervene in terms of assisted procreation, specifically in the manipulation of embryos, since Roberto Andorno is right in his Bioethics and Dignity of the Person work when he says that "when this point is reached, that is, the human being itself as a land of conquest, it is difficult to specify who dominates who and who wins over who ". (Andorno, 2012) Historically, before this advance, no attempt was made to identify or place scientific progress under evaluative judgment because it escaped all criteria that the same weapon of evolution could create destruction. The use of techniques of assisted human reproduction in Ecuador is a fact that occurs more and more frequently, but not its regulation in current Ecuadorian legislation, which implies confronting the right to life from the conception recognized in the Constitution of Ecuador take responsibility for people's reproductive health and analyze how and where the State should take responsibility.
