RESUMEN
Este artículo define y presenta en la primera parte una panorámica general sobre las técnicas de diagnosis prenatal, justificando la licitud del recurso a las mismas en base a los avances de la medicina fetal. Viene fuertemente cuestionada la validez de la PDG y se aclaran algunos puntos relativos a la indicación médica. En la segunda parte se profundizan los aspectos bioéticos, explicando los principios éticos para una diagnosis prenatal plenamente respetuosa del pequeño paciente (valor ético positivo de la diagnosis; proporcionalidad terapéutica; consenso informado; responsabilidad-libertad). Se insiste en la objeción de conciencia y se presentan algunas sentencias que permiten evidenciar algunos problemas jurídico-legales relacionados con la diagnosis prenatal. Las conclusiones orientan a un nuevo enfoque de la prevención de las enfermedades genéticas y malformativas.
ABSTRACT
In the first part of this article a general panorama of the techniques of prenatal diagnosis is defined and presented. Then a justification for the licitude of each is seen in the light of the advances of fetal medicine. The validity of PDG is strongly questioned and some clarification is given to points relative to the medical indications commonly given. In the second part, the bioethical aspects are treated further, explaining the ethical principles of a prenatal diagnosis that is respectful of our little patient ie. positive ethical value of the diagnosis; therapeutic proportionality; informed consent; responsibility-freedom. Consciencious objection is then highlighted and some cases are presented that evidence juridical-legal problems related with prenatal diagnosis. The conclusions direct towards a new focus on the prevention of genetic illnesses and malformations.
