Abstract

As medical technology develops, new issues are raised as to how the use of this technology may comply or conflict with existing human rights standards and values. This article considers the application of human rights standards, and in particular the jurisprudence under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, to the trade in human body organs, the selection of the sex of prospective children, and human reproductive cloning. The current domestic law and regulatory framework is examined, as well as international regulation of this area by the Council of Europe Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine. The author considers how the balance is to be struck between the ethical objections to many developments in biomedicine, and individual self-determination. It is suggested that, in order to be justified, any limitations on individual self-determination in the use of this new medical technology, should have a basis in the protection of human dignity.

解决生物医学中某些伦理问题中的人权和人的尊严。
随着医疗技术的发展,提出了新的问题,即这种技术的使用如何符合或与现有的人权标准和价值观相冲突。本文考虑了人权标准,特别是《欧洲人权公约》第8条下的判例在人体器官交易、未来儿童性别选择和人类生殖性克隆方面的应用。《欧洲委员会人权和生物医学公约》审查了目前的国内法和监管框架以及这一领域的国际监管。作者考虑如何在对生物医学发展的伦理反对和个人自决之间取得平衡。有人建议,在使用这种新的医疗技术时,对个人自决的任何限制都应以保护人的尊严为依据,这样才有理由。
