Advancements in reproductive medicine bring significant responsibilities in ensuring the protection
and respect of human rights. Reproductive rights encompass the right to reproduce,
maternity protection, childcare, and access to adequate healthcare services, including information,
counseling, and family planning. Innovative medicine directly impacts these rights,
influencing decisions regarding childbearing, unintended pregnancies, contraception methods,
genetic and gender selection, and pregnancy modalities. This paper examines contemporary
medical developments in light of technological innovations and their legal implications
for reproductive rights, particularly women’s reproductive health. It reviews debates
surrounding the potential protective rights of a fetus, legal structures governing reproductive
freedom, and the frameworks that safeguard women’s rights. The study further explores
whether innovative medicine strengthens or undermines reproductive justice within broader
social, legal, and ethical contexts.
