THE “MARKET” OF HUMAN REPRODUCTIVE CELLS IN ROMANIA

In Romania, the donation of human reproductive cells (sperm and eggs) can only be done for altruistic and therapeutic purposes. Even so, a lawful market of reproductive cells functions, as part of medically assisted human reproduction techniques, in which Romanian citizens are involved. We will first analyze the legal status of the contracts regarding human reproductive cells (1), so that in the second part of the study we will show how the reproductive cell market works for persons of Romanian citizenship (2).
