Artificial Gametes – Law vs. Progress in Biomedicine
For more than 15 years many research groups have been working on the possibility of creating artificial gametes and using them for both scientific purposes and reproduction. Although the realization of the final goal of research seems to be destined to take a long time, the process of development of artificial gametes is a fact. Taking this into consideration, it seems appropriate to discuss the consequences of the progress of the mentioned process and reasons standing behind it. We must be aware that both the motives and the consequences may be contrary to the standards of the rule of law.
