ABSTRACT
El desafío de cualquier sociedad es construir acuerdos basados en consideraciones éticas y valóricas, que con dinamismo y pragmatismo se renueven según lo que aprendemos día a día a través de la ciencia, de la experiencia y de las realidades sociales. Acuerdos sociales así construidos generan deliberaciones tolerantes, pluralistas y respetuosas de la diversidad de pensamientos y creencias. Esta manera de relacionarse cívicamente ha demostrado ser difícil en el contexto latinoamericano. Este artículo intenta sentar las bases biológicas del desarrollo humano para ejercer un pensamiento ético separandolos mínimos morales, que deben aplicarse a todas las personas, de los máximos morales, que cada uno puede incorporar según sus propias creencias. En primer lugar, se describen los diferentes estadios del desarrollo embrionario previo a la implantación con objeto de reflexionar sobre el estatuto del embrión y luego se hace referencia a las técnicas de reproducción asistida y los desafíos éticos que éstas representan.
A major challenge for any society is to build agreements and regulations based on ethical considerations and value judgments which are dynamic and permanently reviewed and renewed according to what science, experience and social realities teach us every day. Social agreements, which respectthe different ways that people, think and believe, have proved to be a difficult task in Latin America. This article tries to set the biologic bases of early human development in order to separate ethical judgments based onminimal moralities which are applicable to all from maximal moralities which should not be obligatory and followed as personal beliefs. Firstly, the different stages of pre implantation development are described and the moral status of the embryo is examined. This is followed by comments on some challenges posed by modern reproductive Technologies.
