Resumo: |
In the latest years, within the scope of biomedicine, scientific research on embryonic steam cell has been the great promise made by scientists to society as far as human health is concerned. Researchers suppose the therapeutic potential of cell trunk can be possibly used to heal a myriad of diseases. Aware of this expectation, the acceptability of using human embryo as a source of steam cell is the main issue brought by this activity. Such research also leads to legal and ethics dilemmas due to its implication in the destruction of the embryo and in the view of human being as an apparatus. The proposal of the present paper is to reflect upon this ambivalent reality and to reafirm human life as an absolute blessing and further rights as no more than implications of this supreme value. Thus human life is seen as intangible, not to be renounced, revoked, prescribed or violated. Therefore any legitimate scientific action should be based on the respect to the fundamental right to life and to its inherent dignity |
