Artificial Insemination Focusing on Federation Draft Law on Infertility Treatment: Embryogenesis and Applicability of Data in the Draft

Summary/Abstract: In this part of the paper we have presented some basic facts on early embryonic development in order to offer a scientifically and rationally grounded moral and legal definition of the status of the human embryo, since the definition of that status affects the permitted scope and ethical correctness of any intervention regarding the early embryo. The biological data on embryonic development shows that from the moment of conception there is a new and unique body that belongs to the human race. It is because of this, regardless of any abstract theory regarding the status of the embryo, that the human intellect, the legal profession, and civil law too, must protect the life of conceived embryos and prevent unjust and inhuman manipulation of the weakest. The application of this biological data to the Federation Draft Law on fertility treatment with biomedical assisted fertilization clearly shows that the Federation Draft Law is unreliable, inconsistent, illogical and contradictory.
