[Significance of reproductive medicine in regard to judicial and ethical concerns in Germany]

Abstract

Reproductive medicine becomes more and more important due to demographic changes and an increased demand. Since the German "Embryonenschutzgesetz" was set in 1991 many medical improvements could be achieved which are not covered by law. Health can be improved avoiding multiple pregnancy rates. In Germany we are facing an insufficient law concerning reproductive medicine. Therefore, it is very important to renew the law in order to create a better health supply clearing crucial medical questions.
