    Main Results:

    • Reproductive rights may be contingent on the ability to provide an adequate upbringing and societal capacity to support offspring.
    • Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) like in-vitro fertilization (IVF) raise ethical dilemmas regarding donor gametes, surrogacy, and embryo experimentation.
    • The right to life versus the mother's right to bodily autonomy presents a significant ethical conflict, particularly concerning abortion.

    Conclusions:

    • The right to be born is complex, involving ethical considerations of parental responsibility, societal resources, and the moral status of embryos.
    • Reproductive autonomy must be balanced against the welfare of the potential child and the community.
    • Legal and ethical frameworks are necessary to navigate the challenges posed by reproductive technologies and abortion debates.
