Abstract:
The author discusses problems of the "Rule of 3" (Dreierregel) meaning that only three pre-embryos are allowed to be produced within one fertilisation process. This rule is based on the Embryo Protection Act and restricts methods of reproductive medicine. These limits have provoked a debate among the legal community on the question whether certain methods still conform to the law or if the law has to be adapted. This article both outlines and criticizes the arguments put forward in the debate and contrasts them to a proposal made by the German Medical Association.
