GRASSELLI FREITAS, Fernanda  and  PINTO, Gerson. The regulation of voluntary sterilization procedure in Brazil and Spain. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.47, pp.109-127.  Epub Dec 16, 2019. ISSN 1886-5887.

Sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental human right concretized through sexual and reproductive rights, whose exercise is also promoted by voluntary sterilization. In Brazil, while the lawmaker opted for the imposition of limits for the realization of this contraceptive method, in Spain, the law promoted equality among people, respecting body self-determination, especially of women. From this panorama, we intend to identify and understand which fundamentals justify (or not) the imposition of limits to access this procedure. Therefor, the jus-philosophical contributions of the authors Ronald Dworkin and Jürgen Habermas will be used, tracing a parallel with the Spanish law across this subject.

Keywords : corporal self-determination; bioethics; sexual and reproductive rights; voluntary sterilization; equality.
