How are we supposed to know right from wrong or separate one from the other? Does what we consider right always remains as such or in such a fast-developing society morals, values and principles do also change? We live in a world of ‘living’ rights and living Constitutions, where human rights are interpreted in today’s settings. However, while some principles seem easy to discuss in general terms, it is just as difficult to elaborate them in concrete terms, particularly when the subject of discussion is a personal matter. Hence, people seem divided between what one would, could, or should do when the matter concerns their own rights. A particular issue that has generated many discussions in recent years is the one related to surrogacy, the ethical and legal dilemmas surrounding the subject, as well as the challenges facing surrogate and biological mothers, children born via surrogacy or families of surrogate children. The practice of surrogacy also raises human rights concerns in particular with regard to personal identity, dignity, family or legal status, as well as civil rights and obligations. Such concerns must be carefully examined paying particular importance on the rights of the children, also bearing in mind society’s everchanging values. This article discusses such issues, with a special focus on the case law of the United States of America and the European Court of Human Rights.","PeriodicalId":196413,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114614878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In contemporary times, the possibility of manipulating the human genetic heritage and creating perfect organisms is no longer a simple theoretical hypothesis, notably from the development of the genomic editing technique Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR-CAS9), a system created from immunological mechanisms of bacteria that allows the modification of the human genome. In this sense, supported by the matrix of global bioethics, it aims to investigate the immediate and mediate implications of human genetic editing in the contemporary world, through an exploratory methodology and literature review, highlighting divergent positions in Brazil and abroad. In the end, it is possible to conclude that the establishment of limits to biotechnological advances is a measure that is imposed, in respect of the determining border between techno science’s and human rights, not disregarding, however, the benefits of biotechnology, but considering ethical, legal, humanitarian and social criteria.","PeriodicalId":196413,"journal":{"name":"Annals of Bioethics & Clinical Applications","volume":"200 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121899855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
