Assisted Reproduction-IVF Draft-Law

28.03.2024

The IVF Assisted Fertilization Bill In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has sparked considerable debate and controversy within the country. Advocates argue that the legislation represents a step forward in reproductive rights and medical advances, while opponents express concerns about potential societal implications, including the risk of incest, ambiguity about the nationality of donors, and the spread of hate speech aimed at women requiring IVF treatment. More than 20 media have written about the news in question, in particular, the debate on TV Dukagjini emphasizes the narratives previously mentioned. Incest, marriage within families, and the mixing of nationalities by foreign donors are some of the arguments that have provoked reactions from the public, inciting hateful comments.
