QCOSTARICA -As the only country in the world to outlaw in vitro fertilization treatment, Costa Ricans will be – for the first time in 15 years – presented with the possibility of having fertility treatments, according to an executive decree signed Thursday by President, Luis Guillermo Solis.
This move comes amidst bitter opposition from the Catholic Church, court battles and hearings that spanned years, increased pressure from human rights organizations and a national debate about reproductive rights that divided much of the country.
That struggle is captured by journalist Gabriela Quiros in her timely documentary, Beautiful Sin.
