Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: To analyze current issues and to propose alternatives for “the cryopreserved embryos generated before 2005”
Methods: The differences in attitude among the stakeholders such as sperm donors, oocyte donors, and IVF clinics were presupposed. We want to forecast the impediments which occur inevitably in the process of “getting the informed consent” and “discarding the cryopreserved embryos generated before 2005”.
Results: Even though there is a specific guideline for “the cryopreserved embryos generated before 2005” at Novemebr 23, 2006, no consensus about the process related to “getting the informed consent” has been made.
Discussion: Unavoidably, it seems to be entering a period of massive discard of “the cryopreserved embryos generated before 2005”. This is actually opposed to the intent of the Bioethics and Safety Act, which is to protect human dignity and prevent harm to human beings. We have to made reasonable due process to determine the destiny of “the cryopreserved embryos generated before 2005”
