Abstract Cross Border Reproductive Care (CBRC) is one of the most frequently sought-after forms of cross-border care. Advances in assisted reproduction technologies (ART) combined with the commercialization of reproduction have given impetus to developing a highly profitable fertility industry operating as a global market transcending national borders. Multiple stakeholders are involved in this complex industry that is based on the desire of prospective parents to have children. Little is known about the extent, function, and operations of CBRC. However, its main dimensions are bioethical, legal, and economic. This thesis aims to highlight the content of the above mentioned dimensions and the dilemmas that arise regarding autonomy, dignity, justice, discrimination, rights, benefits, and harms of persons seeking CBRC services. Methodologically, the thesis reviews the relevant literature indexed in international databases such as PubMed and GoogleScholar. The relevant Greek literature was accessed through the Collective Catalogue of Journals of Greek Libraries of the National Documentation Center. Research findings show that the main reason for persons with fertility problems seeking reproductive services in other countries is the restrictive legislation in their country of origin. At the same time, legal diversity can have negative consequences for children born through cross-border reproductive care services (e.g., gaps in the legal recognition of parenthood or citizenship).The autonomy of donors, and surrogate mothers, in particular, is being challenged and undermined in the context of the widespread commercialization of the services provided. An important finding of this work is that gamete donation is commercialized and the object of economic transactions. In addition, it is found that inaccuracies and exaggerations in the advertising of the services provided as well as insufficient information provided by health care professionals undermine the autonomy of CBRC service users. Questions and concerns are raised regarding the health and safety of users stemming from potential possible complications (multiple pregnancies, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome) that seem to be high. Finally, issues of confidentiality and transparency are raised by the activities of brokers. The present work concludes that CBRC poses challenges and raises various ethical issues. The terms and conditions of the provision of the relevant services should be delimited and typified in such a way that based on the principles of fairness and equality of access, the autonomy, safety, and health of the persons who use these services are protected. At the same time, the best interest of future children is safeguarded.
