    The judgment of the Inter-American Court, published last December, indicates that with IVF ban has affected the “right to private and family life, reproductive rights and personal integrity.”

    “The decision of whether or not mother or father is part of the right to privacy includes the decision to be in the genetic or biological sense,” the court said.

    The Costa Rican Constitutional Court banned the technique in a resolution of 2000 because they felt it violated the right to life of embryos not implanted in the womb of the woman.
