Summary/Abstract: The intervention of a medical team in the family life, by providing medical assistance within the limits of the administration of fertility drugs or surgical interventions did not raise major ethical dilemmas, since this interference in the private life is seen as necessary for a higher purpose (securing a more important right), namely the right to have children naturally (and not only through adoption). The human rights system requires the exclusion of any discrimination in the treatment of citizens when their fundamental rights are recognized and defended, but the new reproductive technologies, before discussing equitable access to resources, raise much more important issues, such as the recognition or the non-recognition of some new rights, which technology makes possible (or brings to the fore).
