El trasplante uterino como derecho a formar una familia dentro de la legislación ecuatoriana.

Abstract

Uterine transplantation is a medical procedure by which the uterus of a fertile woman is transplanted into a woman whose uterus is nonfunctional (infertile) so that the recipient can procreate a child that biologically belongs to her. This study aims to analyze the regulation of uterus transplantation in Ecuador as a guarantee of the right to create a family together with its descendants. In conclusion, it is necessary to highlight the importance of UT in our country because, with the help of the advanced technology available today, the possibilities of life can be improved. Therefore, this research has emphasized the need to implement it in our legislation, mainly because of the great popularity it has found and, therefore, the promising success it brings. On the other hand, it must not be forgotten that despite being a suitable method, it is still expensive, and it is the state that must guarantee access to it.
