PROTECTION OF EMBRYOS IN INTERNATIONAL AND COMMUNITY LAW
Abstract
The paper focuses on the international standards of human embryo protection, with special
emphasis on the European standards. The analysis of the issue has demonstrated that the
underlying factor of the protection of embryos is the principle of human dignity. The
international regulations are based on the assumption that dignity is attributable to each
human being, member of the human kind, also ex utero. Polish bioethical regulations are
extremely fragmentary and do not provide satisfactory protection of embryos, not even in
instances identified in international law. In particular, leaving the IVF sphere outside the
governing laws in Poland leads to a question whether Polish laws are not in breach of Directive
2004/23/EEC and Directive 17/EC. Those Directives set out requirements that must be
complied with when embryos and gametes are taken and stored, as well as supervision of the
prescribed procedures and possible sanctions where those provisions are infringed.
