Abstract


Genetic technologies are offering new possibilities to human beings. The importance of potential applications make necessary a rigorous reflection from bioethics, analysing the challenges we are facing up. A part in this reflection deals with the biotechnology and its influence in human rights, therefore there are some international documents on this question. Their foundations lay on human dignity, an ethical concept used to establish limits and controls, but rarely defined and analysed in depth. This article is aimed to discuss the dignity as a key for human rights and the relationship with genetic engineering.
