Yardımcı üreme tekniklerinde yasal durum ve etik sorunlar

Abstract

Infertility is a psychologically threatening, stressful, painful and economic problem for couples and can become a social problem that can affect the family and society. Infertility can develop as primary or secondary infertility, cause mental and sexual problems, and affect quality of life. Many pregnancies have occurred in infertile couples with assisted reproductive techniques, which include processing reproductive cells or embryos. With the advancement of technology and medicine, assisted reproductive techniques have been developed. In Turkish law, there is no illegality in assisted reproductive techniques in the case of marriage, and the involvement of a third person or persons in the process is rejected. Since the medical interventions on the basis of the beginning of life and the existence of humanity are sensitive and multidimensional, assisted reproductive techniques also cause many ethical problems. Assisted reproductive techniques are discussed at the national and international level and vary between countries due to scientific and cultural differences. Nurses have responsibilities such as evaluation of infertile couples, implementation of the planned treatment, case management and patient advocacy Keywords: assisted reproductive techniques, infertility, ethics, legal status
