摘要:In order to ethically judge cloning and nuclear transfer (SCNT), we must strive for the greatest possible clarity regarding results achievable in laboratories that want to manipulate human eggs. The article firstly analyses what the beginning of human life is, in order to then establish a set of possible "products", which nuclear transferance techniques can produce. Finally the article defends, in the case of doubt about the human character of the "zygote" produced by nuclear transfer, the prohibition of all experimentation, in function of the principle of precaution that guarantees respect as well for cellular structures about which there is doubt as to whether they are authentic human individuals.
