A clear interpretation of what “inability to pregnancy” means in a new interpretation of the Ministry of Justice concerning medically assisted reproduction by transferring eggs to another woman’s body.
“Men are not capable of being pregnant,” the Justice Minister clarified George Floridis noting that there are significant interventions that put a barrier to every possibility of men for childbirth.
According to the new provision included in the draft law on judicial concern, it is not a medical inability to pregnancy within the meaning of the present the inability to pregnancy. ” It is clarified that “the judicial authorization is valid as soon as the court ruling becomes irrevocable”.
The minister noted that the Ministry of Justice’s initiative was deemed necessary as there had been appeals of homosexuals or lonely who demanded that they have a child through a surrogate mother. “The first instance said yes to the Court of Appeal no” whenever it was necessary to clarify.
According to the minister, only one woman may have a woman in relation to a woman or a man.
“The concept of inability to pregnancy is not a gender issue. There is a weakness of a woman who can be pregnant but for some reasons medical cannot, ”the minister said.
In addition, Mr Floridis said that this provision is “deeply humanitarian for women” as Greece “is in danger of being interpreted to be used as a paid mothers who are forbidden … There is nowhere in the EU. “
