Assisted Reproduction in the Case Law of the European Court of Human Rights
Main Article Content
Abstract
The article presents and analyzes the case law of the European Court of Human Rights concerning assisted reproduction, with the aim to summarize legal conclusions and identify the implications arising from them. It addresses e.g. consent to artificial insemination, both anonymous and non-anonymous gamete donation, access to assisted reproduction techniques and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, post mortem fertilization, the use of surplus embryos for scientific research or age-based restrictions on access to IVF. In terms of structure, each case will be introduced with its factual background, followed by an examination of the legal reasoning reached by the Court. The summary of legal conclusions brings the text to a close.
