Abstract: (5595 Views)
Objective(s): In this article we study the concept of confidentiality in the treatment of infertility and the likely exceptions. We also attempt to study relevant laws and regulations in light of theoretical results.
The paper is compiled in accordance with a legal descriptive and analytical method. None, of course, has priority over the other.
Confidentiality is closely related to the concept of privacy. Privacy is a basic human right that protects human beings as “moral agents”. Although the public interest and third parties’ rights are the most popular exceptions limiting confidentiality, their force could be harnessed by the rule of law.
Conclusion: In infertility treatment as a branch of medical treatments, the principle of confidentiality applies to almost all relationships between treatment providers, donors and treatment receivers. In accordance with the nature of the medical information, the legal system is bound to enact new kinds of rules to protect confidentiality.
