Assisted reproduction with genetic material from male comatose patient: a study of the collision between the patient’s autonomy/dignity and women’s reproductive freedom in to relation with fundamental principles and rights. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2014, n.32, pp.60-71. ISSN 1886-5887.  https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1886-58872014000300006.

In today's development landscape of biotechnology, this study discusses possible solutions to the implementation of the assisted reproduction procedure with genetic material from a male patient in coma. With the use of a deductive methodology, the analysis aims to demonstrate the impossibility of assisted reproduction when the semen collection is held in a male patient in coma, as well as the possibility when semen is donated before the coma and the donor has left written or proven to be that your desire. Thus, the study will undertake a review of some techniques of assisted reproduction and the circumstances of the state of irreversible coma, as well as the constitutional principles of reproductive freedom, of human dignity and autonomy.

Keywords : assisted reproduction; male comatose patient; bioethics; fundamental rights.
