DANTAS, Carlos Henrique Félix; FERRAZ, Carolina Valença  y  FALCAO, Juliana Rocha de Morales. The preservation of diversity in genetic heritage: bioethical and legal implications of the use of CRISPR-Cas9 as a gene editing tool in human beings. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2020, n.49, pp.77-91.  Epub 19-Oct-2020. ISSN 1886-5887.

The scope of this paper was to understand how CRISPR-Cas9 can function as a viable technology in the construction of the parenting project in order to promote freedom in the process of procreative autonomy. However, regarding the possibility of its use to cause genetic manipulation in the human germline, we sought to ascertain the limits and scope of this perception of freedom. Thus, through the use of documentary and bibliographical method, data about the viability of the preservation of the genetic patrimony as an expression of the diversity in humanity was researched. Therefore, it was perceived as necessary to overcome the hygienist thoughts of cleaning up "defects", considering all life as worthy of being lived.

Palabras clave : autonomy; parental project; gene editing; genetic inheritance; the right to difference.
