El Comité de Bioética de España ha publicado una Declaración ofreciendo una respuesta a estos retos. Este artículo analiza críticamente su postura, subrayando la escasa consistencia de cualquier argumento que pretenda censurar cualquier forma de mejora en la salud humana. Con tal fin, se exponen cuestiones como la relación entre dignidad humana y modificación genética o la inconsistencia de la apelación al argumento de la pendiente resbaladiza en este contexto. Asimismo, se afirma la necesidad de trazar distinciones entre las intervenciones que afectan a bienes absolutos, como la salud, y los que no lo son.]]></p></abstract>

The Spanish Bioethics Committee has published a Declaration offering a response to these challenges. This article critically analyzes its position, underlining the scarce consistency of any argument that attempts to censor any form of improvement in human health. To this end, questions such as the relationship between human dignity and genetic modification or the inconsistency of the appeal to the argument of the slippery slope in this context are raised. At the same time, this paper highlights the need to draw distinctions between interventions that affect absolute goods, such as health, and those that are not.]]></p></abstract>
