| Abstract: | Legal and ethical theories see different approaches to the status of the embryo (full status, no status, limited status). The latter conception is upgraded with proportionality status in which the level of rights increases with gestational development. The development of assisted reproduction techniques (ART) from the late 1970s onward led us to the uncharted territories. The status of the embryo (fetus) is no longer debated only in relation to spontaneous conception and development in the mother’s womb but also in relation to the procedures in vitro. Therefore, issues related to embryo storage (surplus embryos), embryo research, and genetic diagnostics shall be examined in the course of the following chapter, along with different approaches to the protection of the (early) embryo in international and domestic laws. The final part shall be dedicated to the discussion on how to regulate the status of the embryo de lege ferenda, also acknowledging further developments in ART. |
