In today's world where more than 10 % of women suffer from infertility, assisted reproduction treatment (hereinafter referred to as "ART") occupies an important place. The topic of human reproduction is particularly delicate. There is no consensus on which ART methods are ethically acceptable and to whom ART should be provided. Therefore each and every state holds its own position in these matters. Difference among legal approaches results in patients seeking desirable treatment abroad. According to available data, most of the ART recipients travel abroad in order to evade legal barriers in their state of origin. Although in the most cases the ART abroad does not constitute any difficulties, in some cases problems may arise in connection with the treatment. States may try to prevent patients from traveling abroad in order to obtain the ART. They may try to protect themselves by refusing giving effect to legal...

Embryo Adoption: Implications of Personhood, Marriage, and ParenthoodMcMillen, Brooke Marie 14 April 2008 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / One’s personal claims regarding personhood will influence his moral belief regarding embryo adoption. In Chapter One, I consider the personhood of the human embryo. If the human embryo is a person, we are morally obligated to permit the practice of embryo adoption as an ethical means to save human persons. However, for those who do not claim that an embryo is a person at conception, embryo adoption is not a necessary practice because we have no moral obligation to protect them. There are still others who claim that personhood is gained at some point during gestation when certain mental capacities develop. I offer my own claim that consciousness and sentience as well as the potential to be self-conscious mark the beginning of personhood.
Embryo adoption raises several questions surrounding the institution of marriage. Due to its untraditional method of procreation, embryo adoption calls into question the role of procreation within marriage. In Chapter Two, I explore the nature of the marriage relationship by offering Lisa Cahill’s definition of marriage which involves both a spiritual and physical dimension, and then I describe the concept of marriage from different perspectives including a social, religious, and a personal perspective. From a personal perspective, I explore the relationship between marriage and friendship. Finally, I describe how the concept of marriage is understood today and explore the advantages to being married as opposed to the advantages of being single.
Embryo adoption changes the way we customarily think about procreation within a family because in embryo adoption, couples are seeking an embryo from another union to be implanted into the woman. This prompts some philosophers to argue that embryo adoption violates the marriage relationship. In Chapter Three, I further consider the impact of embryo adoption on the family as an extension of the marital relationship as well as the impact of embryo adoption on the traditional roles of motherhood and fatherhood. I examine motherhood by looking at how some philosophers define motherhood and when these philosophers claim a woman becomes a mother. After considering these issues regarding motherhood, I examine the same issues surrounding fatherhood.
