| Resumen en otro Idioma | The dignity of the human embryo comes naturally from the fact of being a person. But is the embryo a person? The concept of person is mainly philosophical (ontological) whilst the embryo has a biological nature. According to Embryology, the presence of a single primitive furrow would be the proof that a unique human being is in development. The individual is, by definition, indivisible. Therefore, the experimental possibility of originate three, four or more human beings from each single embryo totipotent cell, regardless of the initial’s zygotes divisions, shows that the embryo, in this stage, is an aggregation not an individual. Just after the primitive furrow formation we would be in the presence of a new human being, in the ontological sense, with juridical meaning. |
