La filiación de los niños nacidos por maternidad subrogada.

Abstract

Surrogacy is a latent reality in Ecuador, but currently lacks specific regulation. The thesis addresses the problem that arises from the subject from a family perspective, given that the people involved who opt for this assisted human reproduction technique to conceive children, enter into an absolute void of legal uncertainty, especially regarding the filiation law, which plays a predominant role in the context. Consequently, a reform to article 24 of the Civil Code is proposed, which covers filiation in cases arising from surrogacy, in this way, it is intended to contemplate and regulate children conceived through this procedure. It is crucial that Ecuador is on par with new scientific advances to regulate the legal bond of these children, since the objective of surrogacy is for the intended parents to obtain the filiation of the baby and be recognized as the true parents of the child, guaranteeing the best interest of the minor.
