The right to personal identity of minors and assisted procreation

The recent ruling of the Constitutional Court has highlighted a crucial issue: the right to personal identity of minors born through medically assisted procreation. This right, fundamental for the growth and development of an individual, is compromised when the status of child of both parents is not recognized.

The Court highlighted that such omission not only harms the minor's identity, but also compromises his right to receive adequate education and care from both parents.

The consequences of failure to recognize

Failure to recognize the status of a child has significant repercussions. First, the child loses the possibility of maintaining a balanced and continuous relationship with each of the parents. This aspect is crucial for his emotional and social development. Furthermore, the lack of formal recognition undermines the right of the child to receive care, education and moral assistance, essential elements for healthy and harmonious growth. The Court stressed that every child has the right to maintain meaningful relationships with his ancestors and relatives, an aspect that cannot be overlooked.

The role of assisted procreation

Medically assisted procreation has opened up new possibilities for families, but has also raised ethical and legal questions. It is essential that regulations adapt to these new realities, ensuring that the rights of minors are always protected. The ruling of the Constitutional Court represents a step forward in this direction, highlighting the need for a clear and inclusive legal framework. Only in this way can we ensure that every child, regardless of the way they were conceived, can enjoy all the rights provided by law.
