Abstract
The in vitro fertilization procedure involves a thorough knowledge of the human rights category, which concerns in particular the right to life and health of the child and the woman. The protection of human life and dignity is one of the fundamental obligations of any rule of law, and this protection includes prenatal life, namely the protection of the rights of the unborn child. Both European norms and national criminal law provisions ensure the existence and observance of a functional legal framework that protects the rights of the fetus in case of need, the in vitro fertilization procedure being particularly likely to give rise to legal situations involving knowledge and respect for all rights associated with human.
