Social changes have influenced the interpersonal relations of man, encouraging the legalization of de facto unions; on the other hand, the advancement of science facilitated human reproduction with assisted reproduction techniques, which affects social and legal relations. The right to procreation is a relative right, that is, it must be realized within certain essential parameters; within them, the defense, respect and consideration that must be had with the life to be generated.
