Abstract

Few issues in the field of biotechnology can generate as much debate as preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) and the mitochondrial donation. Both have generated different opinions for and against it. Inmitochondrial donation it is possible that the ethical and legal dilemma is minor, bat because of many cultural, social, economic and religious factors, and its possible eugenic character, legislative framework relative to the PGD at international level is highly uneven, from permissive or restrictive laws to states where there are at most recommendations of scientific societies and even a loophole, having very rare references such as both universal and international declarations and supranational legislation. As a result it produces the so-called cross-border reproductive care of couples travelling to test permissive countries,in addition to demographic change a cause of sex-selection and selection of embryos with abnormal or socially recognized as disabling genes, which could affect genetic inheritance of future generations. It may be time to raise a common and binding international legislation PGD.
