Abstract
- This article deals with the existing scientific divergence with regard to the surplus of frozen embryos, especially between biology, religion, the law and bioethics, with a specific focus on the ways in which each of these areas determines the onset of life. The aim of the authors is to suggest alternatives that protect the human, embryo, such as adoption by couples or by single women, who, for medical reasons, are infertile, but are capable of bearing a child. In the case of Brazil, the authors conclude that it is legal and legitimate to donate and adopt human embryos for fertilization, so long as the principle of human dignity is upheld and confidentiality maintained regarding the identity of the donors of the gametes, whose data should remain on file permanently at the center where fertilization occurred.
