title: [Tort liability in the application of assisted reproduction techniques: differences with biomedical research (Regarding the SSTS of October 23, 2008 and November 20, 2009)].
abstract: The first court decisions concerning tort liability in assisted reproduction treatments have started to be enacted in Spanish law. They emphasize the scope of the health professionals' duty to inform more thoroughly in this field, than on curative medicine. This article discusses the basis of the liability in reproductive medicine in the light of art. 18 of Law 14/2006 of 26 May, and the notable differences in compensation for damage aroused in biomedical research, which is governed by a particular system established by Law 14/2007 of 3 July.
