Considerations on the Need to Legislate in the Field of Surrogacy

Through scientific research, humanity transcends the boundaries of its biological condition and the genetic potential of the species, as the evolution of medical technologies makes possible certain modifications of the imperatives drawn by the limits of human evolution (Vlad, 2019). Human creativity is no longer limited to art, but also manifests itself in the scientific field, when scientists decide to no longer submit to species predeterminism, to oppose it, with all the ethical dilemmas that result from this, as well as all the legislative innovations involved. One field that has generated such transformations in recent years is medically assisted human reproduction, in all its forms, as there are numerous medical techniques for reproduction with the help of contemporary medicine, some of which are more controversial than others. Some of these techniques have already entered common medical practice, such as fertility and pregnancy maintenance treatments, while others await ethical validation to be implemented on a large scale. A third category is that of treatments that are still in the experimental stage, such as solo reproduction (Cutaș & Smajor) or cloning (Taylor, 2005).
