La maternidad subrogada: tendencias de regulación en Latinoamérica
description
The article aims to contribute to the study of surrogacy by reviewing the Latin American experience. To this end, it seeks to identify the main characteristics of this experience by reviewing the legislative and judicial activity of some countries in the region (Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Uruguay and Venezuela) that have sought to regulate it, or have judicial decisions in this regard. Within this framework, the article is divided into two main chapters. In the first, some general considerations about surrogacy are presented, and in the second, the characteristics mentioned are identified and explained. Latin America has not been immune to the phenomenon of surrogacy. On the contrary, its experience shows a clear intention to adopt a position on this figure. However, in the face of the ethical, moral, political and legal conflicts and dilemmas involved, such will has not been materialized by the legislator in a majority and forceful way. Therefore, even though many bills have been presented, very few countries have current regulations on the subject. Faced with this situation, the judiciary has had to partially resolve the problems arising from surrogacy, with the consequences that this entails, that is, the absence of democratic representation in setting the parameters that should guide the state policy in a matter such as the one studied, and the legal uncertainty for citizens, which is the result of judicial discretion.

Para ello, busca identificar las características principales de dicha experiencia por medio de la revisión de la actividad legislativa y judicial de algunos países de la región (Argentina, Brasil, Colombia, Chile, México, Uruguay y Venezuela) que han buscado regularla, o cuentan con decisiones judiciales al respecto. Dentro de este marco, el artículo se divide en dos partes principales. En la primera, se presentan algunas consideraciones generales sobre la maternidad subrogada. En la segunda, se identifican y exponen las señaladas características. Latinoamérica no ha sido ajena al fenómeno de la maternidad subrogada. Por el contrario, su experiencia evidencia una clara intención de adoptar una postura frente a esta figura. Con todo, ante los conflictos y dilemas éticos, morales, políticos y jurídicos envueltos, dicha voluntad no se ha materializado por el legislador de forma mayoritaria y contundente. Por lo tanto, aunque se han presentado múltiples proyectos de ley, son muy pocos los países que cuentan con normas vigentes sobre la materia. Ante esta situación, el poder judicial ha debido resolver de forma parcial las problemáticas derivadas de la maternidad subrogada, con las consecuencias que ello acarrea, esto es, la ausencia de representación democrática en la fijación de los parámetros que deben guiar la política estatal en un asunto como el estudiado, y la incertidumbre jurídica para los ciudadanos, fruto de la discrecionalidad judicial.2021text (article)application/pdfhttps://dialnet.unirioja.es/servlet/oaiart?codigo=7947637(Revista) ISSN 1794-2918Jurídicas, ISSN 1794-2918, Vol. 18, Nº. 1, 2021, pags. 74-90spaLICENCIA DE USO: Los documentos a texto completo incluidos en Dialnet son de acceso libre y propiedad de sus autores y/o editores.
