RESUMO
O homem anseia em si perpetuar,
podendo para isso ultrapassar barreiras
éticas, na tentativa de preservar o seu
patrimônio genético e se imortalizar.
Criar um ser à sua imagem e semelhança,
desde os primórdios da civilização é
um sonho do homem, que com a divulgação
da ovelha Dolly (05/07/1996), tornou
possível. O grande desafio atual é
conciliar o saber humanístico e cientifico
na busca da felicidade, pois as fronteiras
biológicas estão sendo derrubadas,
e devemos refletir no utilizar indiscriminado
da ciência.
A clonagem terapêutica é atualmente
aceita por muitos países, porque oferece
á medicina a oportunidade de repor tecidos
perdidos e de tratar várias doenças
etc. A clonagem reprodutiva dos seres
humanos é proibida por quase todos os
países e é considerado um ilícito penal,
podendo levar ao empobrecimento da
diversidade genética. A conferência geral
da UNESCO (11/11/1997) diz “as práticas
contrárias a dignidade humana, não devem
ser permitidas”; sendo reiterada esta
idéia na Declaração das Nações Unidas
(08/03/2005). Por este motivo, a clonagem
é um desafio ético atual, podendo
constituir uma ameaça ao patrimônio genético
da humanidade.
ABSTRACT Man desires to perpetuate himself and thereby will cross ethical barriers in the attempt to preserve his genetic heritage and thus to immortalize himself. To create a being in one’s own image has been a dream of man since the dawn of civilization and since the advent of the cloned sheep Dolly (05/07/1996) it now seems possible. The great challenge now is too reconcile human knowledge and scientific knowledge in the search for happiness, as the frontiers of science are being expanded and we must ponder the indiscriminate use of science. Therapeutic cloning is currently accepted in many countries because this technique enables medicine to offer patients the possibility of replacing injured tissues, treat several conditions, etc. Human reproductive cloning is forbidden in most countries in the world and is considered a criminal act, as it would diminish genetic diversity. The UNESCO general conference (11/11/1997) stated that “practices contrary to human dignity must not be permitted”. This idea is reiterated in the United Nations Declaration of 08/03/2005. For this reason, human cloning is currently an ethical challenge, as it represents a threat to the diversity of the human genome.
