Abstract
The Brazilian Federal Board of Medicine (CFM) issued resolution number 2294/21, which regulates human reproduction procedures in Brazil, bringing significant changes to clinical practice in assisted human reproduction, and it raised ethical, bioethical, and legal discussions between professionals and patients. This study aims to analyze these changes in different aspects, especially because some of them are controversial. Evidence-based knowledge resources were used to support the analyses of crucial points that were impacted by this change. A literature review was carried out to obtain information about guidelines and laws, as well as articles that contemplate ethical discussions on assisted reproduction. The search sites used were BVS, Pub Med, LILACS and Google Scholar. The keywords used were law, legislation, bioethics, reference guide and assisted human reproduction. Relevant official documents from the Brazilian State were also found and included in the survey. The new resolution regarding the use of assisted reproduction techniques brought important changes, with clinical implications for couples who wish to become pregnant, and there is a need for a broad discussion concerning these repercussions from clinical, ethical, bioethical, and legal points of view.
