RULES AND METHOD OF SUPPORTING THE DECISION-MAKING REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF EXTRACORPOREAL FERTILIZATION

Abstract

Considering the impossibility of applying for the paid services of a lawyer in most medical clinics, the legal correctness of decisions regarding the provision of various medical services can be significantly increased by a decision support system or technology regarding the possibility of providing medical services – at the expense of providing a conclusion on the possibility or impossibility of providing this or that medical service, taking into account civil legal grounds.
 The conducted analysis proved that none of the known systems/technologies are intended to support decision-making regarding the possibility of providing the extracorporeal fertilization, taking into account civil legal grounds. Although the use of such cross-disciplinary systems/technologies can significantly increase the correctness of the decision from a legal point of view, protect the doctor and the patient from legal collisions, provide an opportunity for a quick and free check of the presence of all significant conditions from a legal point of view, as well as recommendations for further implementation or non-implementation of extracorporeal fertilization procedures.
