ABSTRACT
El artículo analiza críticamente, desde la perspectiva del bioderecho, la regulación penal de la manipulación genética en Colombia, evidenciando alguna de sus deficiencias más importantes, especialmente aquella de tutelar un bien jurídico de naturaleza colectiva. Luego, se elaboran y justifican algunas críticas a la construcción del tipo penal de manipulación genética para, finalmente, sustentar una propuesta de optimización de dicha regulación. Se concluirá que i) la estructura de la actual regulación penal de la manipulación genética en Colombia carece de exhaustividad y es imprecisa en, prácticamente, todos los puntos analizados en este trabajo, y que ii) el bioderecho representa un modelo jurídico capaz de otorgar más seguridad a la regulación penal de la manipulación genética en Colombia y otros ordenamientos legales del mundo
In this paper I critically analyze, from biolaw's point of view, the criminal regulation of genetic manipulation in Colombia by evidencing some of its most important deficiencies, especially in relation to protecting a legal interest of a collective nature. Then, some criticisms are elaborated and justified regarding the construction of the criminal type of genetic manipulation to finally offer and support a proposal of optimization for that regulation. It will be concluded that i) the structure of the current criminal regulation of genetic manipulation in Colombia lacks exhaustiveness and is imprecise in practically all the points analyzed in this work, and that ii) biolaw represents a legal model capable of granting more security and certainty to the criminal regulation of genetic manipulation in Colombia, as well as to other legal systems in the world

El rasgo jurídico inédito que la manipulacion genética no terapéutica en estado embrionario despliega, exige un abordaje jurídico-procedimental, hasta ahora inexplorado que, a la vez, demanda la redefinición y ampliación de la estatura legal vinculante de categorías tradicionales del derecho positivo y que alcanzan las fronteras del derecho constitucional, de familia, reparatorio y penal. En este artículo busco demostrar la necesidad de definir un marcojuridico para regular la manipulación genética no terapéutica en estado embrionario preimplantacional que introduce desmejoras o discapacidades que redundan en perjuicios objetivos para un nuevo sujeto de derechos que debiera ser considerado en el mapa juridico: la persona futura. Por ello, pretendo subsanar el vacio legal existente, proponiendo actualizar, ampliar y profundizar los ordenamientos jurídicos iberoamericanos, a través de la recategorizacion jurídica de la manipulación genética no terapéutica y la emergencia de un nuevo sujeto de derechos: la persona futura (AU)
The unprecedented legal implications that non-therapeutic genetic manipulation in pre-implantation embryonic state points out demand a, until now, unexplored approach, which, at the same time, requires the redefinition and extension of legal-binding status of traditional categories of law related to constitutional, restorative, criminal and international law. ln this paper, l will identify and define a juridical framework to regulate non-therapeutic genetic manipulation in pre-implantation embryonic state, specifically when that manipulation introduces deteriorations, disabilities or illnesses, which imply objective harms for a new subject of rights who should be considered in the juridical map: the future person. ln addition, I intend to remedy the existing legal vacuum and loopholes in this matter by proposing to update, expand and deepen international legal systems through the juridical re-categorization of non-therapeutic genetic manipulation and the concept ot legal existence of the person (AU)
