La gestación subrogada y su impacto en la vulneración del derecho a la dignidad humana de la mujer ecuatoriana

Abstract

In the field of biomedicine and reproductive rights, we find assisted reproductive techniques. These include various medical treatments and procedures that people go through to achieve their goal of becoming parents. For many of these procedures, such as gestational surrogacy, a third person, called a surrogate mother, is crucial. In several countries, these procedures have clear regulations, but that is not the case in Ecuador. This research discusses the need to create a legal framework to regulate these procedures because of their growing popularity. It also addresses the potential risks that surrogate mothers face due to the absence of clear regulations that protect their fundamental rights and provide them with legal certainty.
