[marron]Summary[/marron]

This article analyzes the national doctrine of the Argentine Republic in relation to the National Civic and Commercial Code Project, particularly with regard to the legal nature of the non-implanted embryo, and consequently the affiliation act which is the result of assisted human reproduction. Since 2012, when the Inter-American Court of Human Rights determined that the existence of a human being starts with the implantation of the embryo, the non-implanted embryo is therefore not a human person; the countries that have ratified the American Convention of Human Rights must follow these guidelines. Also included in the analysis, is the articulation with access to assisted human reproduction technologies, as the legal system must respect the reproductive freedom of all persons, whether or not they are in favor of IVF; and those whose positions are contrary to these practices, have the freedom to abstain.
