Resumo: The present paper discusses the ethical and legal consequences of developments in biotechnological science, with a focus on the field of genetic engineering. We classify situations originating from developments in biotechnological science depending on their ethical and legal justification, based on Habermas’ reflections in his work “The future of human nature”, and differentiate between negative eugenics, representing ethically and legally justified situations, given their therapeutic potential of bringing benefits to human beings; and positive eugenics, describing situations, which are not justified by Ethics and Law, since they represent risks for the ethical self-understanding of the human species and are also incompatible with the imperative nature of human life protection, which is struc- tured by the Ibero-American constitutional states. We conclude that all moral judgments must follow the principle of human dignity as a major guideline, because the prevention of harmful practices against human beings requires, apart from legal and ethical rules, the responsibility to exclusively employ technologies for therapeutic purposes and to impede that the consumer society and its by-products completely artificialize the human nature.

Dividimos as situações apresentadas pela ciência biotecnológica entre as que podem ser ética e juridicamente justificadas: eugenia negativa, dado o potencial terapêutico de trazer benefícios aos seres humanos; e as que não são ética e juridicamente justificadas: eugenia positiva, visto que representam risco de danos para autocompreensão ética da espécie humana, assim como são incompatíveis com o imperativo de proteção à vida humana estruturado no Estado de Direito Iberoamericano. Concluímos que o respeito ao principio da dignidade humana deve se efetivar como uma diretriz máxima para o juízo moral de todos os homens, pois evitar práticas lesivas ao ser humano requer, além de normas legais e éticas, responsabilidade de ação para utilizar a tecnologia com fins exclusivamente terapêuticos e impedir que a sociedade de consumo e seus derivados artificializem completamente a natureza humana.Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Pos-Graduacao em Direito - CONPEDI2016-06-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArtigo avaliado pelos Paresapplication/pdfhttps://www.indexlaw.org/index.php/conpedireview/article/view/351410.26668/2448-3931_conpedilawreview/2015.v1i13.3514Conpedi Law Review; v. 1 n. 13 (2015): Teoria, Filosofia e História do Direito; 202-2272448-39312448-3931reponame:Conpedi Law Reviewinstname:Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação em Direito (CONPEDI)instacron:CONPEDIporhttps://www.indexlaw.org/index.php/conpedireview/article/view/3514/3024Copyright (c) 2016 Melissa Cabrini Morgato, Edinilson Donisete Machadoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessMorgato, Melissa CabriniMachado, Edinilson Donisete2021-08-20T02:09:37Zoai:ojs.indexlaw.org:article/3514Revistahttps://www.indexlaw.org/index.php/conpedireviewONGhttps://www.indexlaw.org/index.php/conpedireview/oaipublicacao@conpedi.org.br||indexlawjournals@gmail.com2448-39312448-3931opendoar:2021-08-20T02:09:37Conpedi Law Review - Conselho Nacional de Pesquisa e Pós-graduação em Direito (CONPEDI)false
