The professor brings Biesaga and briefly discussed the document signed in Oviedo 4 April 1997., Called the full text of the
Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and dignity of the human being in the context of the application of biology and medicine, which in the literature and public awareness is recorded as the European
Convention on Bioethics ( EKB).
Creating a document until the last 6 years and the findings related to such fundamental concepts such as the human person (hence the title of "people" took "the essence"). Valid on normatywnie in the EU Member States.
The foundation on which the developing individual sections of the human person is the primacy of the science and society. This is a very
important statement - clearly cuts off the path of modern Europe from the totalitarian past, in which the entity was required to sacrifice for the state, and thus its existence was of little importance.
Today, however, it is important to ascertain - that man is more important than science, so you can not do experiments on him, which threaten his life, he is not aware or can not give a definitive agreement to it (children, people with disabilities). The only allowable area of experimentation is an opportunity to improve the fate of a particular patient''s - of course after obtaining their consent (eg, novel therapies agents).
In the case of genetic interference, the Convention allows for this possibility only for the purpose of preventive, diagnostic or therapeutic, and only if it does not introduce changes in the genome of offspring.
The Convention also prohibits human cloning - as a highly immoral act, and unworthy.
The entire document is formulated in accordance with the primacy of the dignity of freedom. This route leads to nacechowania medical personalism.
