The Status of the Embryo. A Biomedical and Ethical-Anthropological Perspective in Light of the Works of the Pontifical Academy Pro Vita
Abstract
The status of the human embryo is the subject of discussion in many environments. The way
of perceiving many other bioethical issues depends on the solution to this problem. The Church
also takes part in the discussion - in its official teaching as well as in more specialized sectors of
its life. The works of Papal Academy „Pro Vita” constitute such a voice of the Church. It gathers
scientists from such branches of science as philosophy, law and, first of all, medicine. In 2006
a session of the Academy took place and it was devoted to the status of the human embryo. The
subject was formulated in two basic aspects: the biological status and the ethical status. The first
one is about determining the biological structure of the embryo as an independent, unique structure
typical for a human being. The second one is about determining its individuality, human distinction
and dignity which demands protection and respect appropriate for a human being.
