La Legge del 25 giugno 2015 sulla cura dell’infertilità in Polonia – Valutazione morale
Act of 25 June 2015 on the treatment of infertility in Poland – moral assessment

Summary/Abstract: Right to life is a fundamental right which stems from human dignity. The article presents legal situation of an embryo on pre-implantation phase in the Polish public order. The article highlights the constitutional values protecting human life (paragraph 30 and 38 of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland). Life in prenatal phase is a constitutional value in Polishjurisprudence (Adjudication of Polish Constitutional Court on 28th May 1997). The act of law passed on 25th June 2015 does not protect in sufficient way the embryo which comes into being during an in-vitro procedure. The law on infertility treatment which allows medically assisted fertilization (also heterologous), selection of embryos, embryo and gamete freezing may be recognise only as injustice from the moral point of view.
