[The human embryo: a reality in need of protection].

Today many advances in biotechnology involve the use of human embryos, which suffer the consequences of experimentation-research and are considered to be mere sources of raw materials. Given this the facto situation, it is crucial that embryos are afforded recognition. If they are considered to be human beings many of these actions should be banned. If not, then they should be permitted. At the root of this problem lies the great question facing philosophers and scientists, namely, when does life become human? This issue should be addressed in an interdisciplinary manner due to the ethical, religious, philosophical, biological and other aspects involved. However, aside from this debate, the mere fact that embryos belong to our species and possess intrinsic potential make them deserving of respect and protection. The Law therefore should intervene to provide this protection and prevent uncontrolled actions by researchers working alone in their laboratories.

[Scientific ethics and frozen embryos].

BACKGROUND: Scientific Ethics is the theory and praxis of decisions. Philosophical Ethics is presented as the theory and praxis of the good. As the good differs among cultures, Philosophical Ethics is dependent on the endo-cultural good conception. The decision (included that one of adhesion or not to a world vision) depends on neuro-psychic specific factors: i) cognitive factors that include mostly the knowledge of the alternatives and their consequences and the ideological or religious conception of good in relation to the alternatives; ii) affective factors that make alternatives pleasant, unpleasant or neutral, attractive, repulsive or neutral; iii) emotional factors that associate to alternatives anger, peace or neutrality, sadness, happiness or neutrality; iv) value factors that assign importance, triviality or neutrality to alternatives, or assign them significance, irrelevancy or neutrality. There are unspecific factors such as the psychic energy, desire or others. Mixed factors such as attitude, motivation, intention and others. Scientific Ethics deals with the mind as a materio-energetic process which is different from the soul, eggs and embryos of any species are full individuals of that species, because, they have initiated a copy of their genome that specify, give autonomy and define them as individuals. For Scientific Ethics to leave frozen embryos like that for ever, to defrost and get rid of them or to use their cells for science are synonymous of killing them. To defrost them to use their cells as stem cells for somatic cell therapy or to implant them into uteri to continue their development is to maintain alive their cells, but only the implantation allows their maintenance as individuals, thus, being the only compatible with the Christian ethics. The compatibility of these alternatives with other ethics is discussed.
