Source text - Spanish La selección del sexo
Las técnicas de selección del sexo en la especie humana pueden realizarse a nivel de gametos o a nivel de embriones, cuyas perspectivas éticas y legales son diferentes.
En términos legales, en España están vigentes dos normas jurídicas: una nacional - la Ley 35/1988, de 22 de noviembre, sobre Técnicas de Reproducción Asistida - y otra supranacional, el Convenio sobre los Derechos Humanos y la Biomedicina (conocido como Convenio Europeo de Bioética) de abril de 1997, cuyos textos ad hoc se indican a continuación:
El Artículo 12.1 de la Ley 35/1988, dice que:
“Toda intervención sobre el preembrión, vivo, in vitro, con fines diagnósticos, no podrá tener otra finalidad que la valoración de su viabilidad o no, o la detección de enfermedades hereditarias, a fin de tratarlas, si ello es posible, o de desaconsejar su transferencia para procrear.”
Más adelante, cuando trata de las infracciones y sanciones, dice en el Artículo 20.2 A) n) que son infracciones graves:
“La selección del sexo o la manipulación genética con fines no terapéuticos o terapéuticos no autorizados.”
De la lectura del texto de la Ley 35/1988 parece inferirse que, salvo razones de enfermedades ligadas al sexo, está prohibida la selección del sexo y aunque, a la vista del Artículo 12.1, podría pensarse que se refiere exclusivamente a la utilización del diagnóstico preimplantacional de embriones; sin embargo, la redacción del apartado n) del Artículo 20.2 A) que menciona de forma genérica la “selección del sexo” como una infracción grave podría interpretarse que se refiere no sólo a la selección de embriones en razón de su sexo en un programa de FIV, sino también a la selección de espermatozoides previa a la inseminación artificial.
Translation - English Sex selection
Sex selection techniques in human beings can be carried out at either gamete or embryo level, each of which raise different legal and ethical questions.
In legal terms, there are two pieces of legislation in force in Spain: one national – Act 35/1988 (of 22 November) regarding assisted reproduction techniques – and one supranational - the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine (also known as the European Convention on Bioethics) which was established in April 1997. The ad hoc texts of these two pieces of legislation are shown below:
Article 12.1 of Act 35/1988, states that:
“No intervention for diagnostic purposes on the live pre-embryo in vitro shall be permitted, unless its object is to determine the viability of the pre-embryo or to detect hereditary disorders therein, in order to treat them, where possible, or to advise against the transfer of the pre-embryo for reproduction if treatment is not possible.”
Further on, when referring to violations and sanctions, paragraph n) of Article 20.2 A) states that serious violations of the Act include:
“Sex selection or genetic manipulation for non-therapeutic or unauthorised therapeutic purposes.”
The text in Act 35/1988 would seem to suggest that sex selection is prohibited, except for reasons relating to sex-linked disorders, and in light of Article 12.1 it could be thought that this ban applies exclusively to the use of preimplantation embryo diagnosis. The wording in paragraph n) of Article 20.2 A), however, which refers generically to “sex selection” as a serious violation of the Act, could be interpreted as referring not only to the sex-based selection of embryos in an IVF programme, but also to the selection of sperm prior to artificial insemination.
