RESUMO
The CRISPR editing method is revolutionary. This technique opens the possibility of countless operations in the genome of living beings. However, the risks are high and, in some cases, unpredictable. Therefore, based on an anthropology that recognizes the human person with an inherent dignity that includes the body, this article intends to propose bases for a regulation capable of facing the challenge of CRISPR, especially, given the possibility of confusing its therapeutic resource with the eugenics, also before the imminent risk of unleashing unforeseen consequences such as mutations, malformations and side effects that could be devastating for human life.

El método de edición CRISPR es revolucionario. Está técnica abre la posibilidad de infinidades de operaciones en el genoma de seres vivos. Sin embargo, los riesgos son altos y, en algunos casos, imprevisibles. Por ello, a partir de una antropología que reconoce a la persona humana con una dignidad inherente que incluye el cuerpo, este artículo pretende proponer bases para una regulación capaz de afrontar el desafío de las CRISPR, especialmente, ante la posibilidad de confundir su recurso terapéutico con el eugenésico, asimismo ante el inminente riesgo de desencadenar consecuencias imprevistas como mutaciones, malformaciones y efectos secundarios que podrían ser devastadoras para la vida humana
The CRISPR editing method is revolutionary. This technique opens the possibility of countless operations in the genome of living beings. However, the risks are high and, in some cases, unpredictable. There-fore, based on an anthropology that recognizes the human person with an inherent dignity that includes the body, this article intends to propose bases for a regulation capable of facing the challenge of CRISPR, especially, given the possibility of confusing its therapeutic resource with the eugenics, also before the imminent risk of unleashing unforeseen consequences such as mutations, malformations and side effects that could be devastating for human life
