Abstract

Objective: the article proposes to analyze two apparently contradictory norms on the voluntary interruption of pregnancy and the law that establishes assisted reproduction in Argentina. Methodology: it was a case study, in which the parliamentary discussions on the occasion of the approval of the laws were rescued, as well as a textual comparison of the laws under study. Results: The most important laws on the subject are the laws that consider the starting point of life; the law on the conservation of cryopreserved embryos and the IVE law. Conclusion - From the analysis carried out, it is noted that among the norms analyzed there is a lack of constitutional and conventional harmony between the laws treated due to treating similar issues in a different way, even contrary to the conventional system of law.
