Abstract
The existence of the humanity is possible till the moment reproduction exists. The level of citizens’ health of any country shows us the level of the economic, demographic, cultural and political development of the country. However, despite the importance of the social relations, national laws are not provided with full range of opportunities about the reproductive health. A special place here is dedicated to the national level of legislation of the relationships with the use of artificial reproductive technologies.
Law is designed to take into account some aspects of the existing problems of different nature and at the legislative level to summarize all the views available in the country by permission or prohibition due to a variety of assisted reproductive technologies.
Infertility is known as a disease of the XXI century. Bad ecology, hereditary factors, stress, lack of sports, unhealthy lifestyle – all this is incidental causes of infertility. The percentage of infertility in Ukraine is extremely impressive – its level reaches 15–25% of the population of reproductive age. Every fifth family in Ukraine cannot deliver a child in a natural way. And, unfortunately, this problem is not unique to Ukraine. People around the world suffer from this problem.
This is why artificial reproductive technologies are sometimes the only way for couples (or a single person) to overcome infertility and to get a genetically native baby.
