Adoção embrionária: uma alternativa para reduzir o número de embriões criopreservados nas clínicas de reprodução humana assistida

Abstract

The techniques of Assisted Human Reproduction have evolved significantly in recent years and, due to their efficiency, countless embryos end up being cryopreserved in order to avoid multiple pregnancies. It turns out that the number of frozen embryos in assisted procreation clinics has been increasing in such a way that it drew the attention of scholars about their possible destinations, in order to reduce this number. The Federal Council of Medicine, in its Resolution No. 2,168 / 2017, authorizes the disposal and forwarding of these embryos for scientific research. However, mostly, it is understood that life starting from conception and, therefore, such destinations would be unfeasible, given the fact that they reap the life there. In view of this, embryo adoption presents itself as the alternative most consistent with current ethical parameters, in addition to providing infertile couples with the long-awaited maternity / paternity.
