Reproductive Medicine and Medical Tourism
Abstract
Reproductive medicine is practiced in a distinctive environment. This environment is shaped by the rapid pace of medical advancement, and the fact that reproductive medical tourism tends to involve third parties. There are many unresolved problems and a need for guidelines to advance proper medical practice. There are also differences in historical, political, religious, and social environments in the destinations involved in reproductive medical tourism. These generate problems relating to the rights and welfare of both patients and children. This chapter discusses these and other problems concerning differences in legal regimes, and discrepancies between the treatment received in the destination country and that provided after returning home. Most significantly, the problems are accompanied by a failure to acknowledge the paramount importance of the rights not only of patients, but also of unborn children. To engage in reproductive medical tourism without regard for these rights is not permissible.
