Embryo: Obrana lidského života
- 191pagine
- 7 ore di lettura
Bioetika, poměrně mladá interdisciplinární vědní disciplína, se bouřlivě rozvíjí a stává se předmětem nejen odborné, ale také široké společenské diskuze. Jedno ze zásadních témat bioetiky představuje problém morálního statusu lidských embryí a z něj derivujících práv a povinností. Autoři se pokoušejí srozumitelnou formou přiblížit čtenáři současný stav diskuze a zároveň promyšlenými argumenty podpořit stále více populární bioetické stanovisko: lidská embrya jsou od samého počátku své existence individuálními organismy lidského druhu, představují lidské osoby, kterým jakožto takovým náleží základní lidská práva, mezi něž náleží rovněž právo na život. Z toho autoři rovněž vyvozují příslušné povinnosti ze strany společnosti a předkládají praktické návrhy pro regulaci embryo-destruktivního výzkumu.
