The implementation of modern reproductive technologies is generating significant social controversies, political and legal proof of this are the events that have occurred and are occurring in Costa Rica. This leads us to believe that the situation becomes emblematic of what happens in the rest of the region. Therefore, in this study we will refer to the case before the Inter-american Commission of Human Rights against the State of Costa Rica because of the denial to IVF treatment to the alleged victims, in violation of various rights recognized in the American Convention on Human Rights that led to the report 85/10EI, now under consideration.
