Marco jurídico de los trasplantes de órganos y tejidos fetales en México y en Colombia
Summary: This paper is the result of a completed research on the legal framework for organ transplantations and fetal tissues in Mexico and Colombia. The guiding research questions were: Which are the ethical and legal implications in the way of acquisition and use of these tissues and organs? Are these transplantations properly regulated in the two legislations? The method used was a theoretical, exploratory and propositional. After the discussion the conclusions that were reached were: 1. The important thing to be observed in the first instance is the benefit of the embryo or fetus and respect for his dignity. 2 . The �production� of embryos by assisted reproduction for these purposes is not accepted. 3. An abortion should never take place in order to obtain organs or tissues. 4. An intervention in a fetus is justified only if the pregnancy principal purpose was not to obtain tissues and organs and if the intervention doesn�t causes any damages to the fetus neither to the mother, only tissues should be obtained and never organs, although they are pair organs. 5. All these issues are not effectively regulated in Colombian legislation nor Mexican one and they should be properly regulated.
