| Abstract: | The new opportunities and challenges arising from reproductive technology, stem cell research, cloning, gene therapy, pre-implantation/pre-symptomatic genetic diagnosis and other biotechnological developments have raised expectations and concerns in large sectors of public opinion. Civil society all over the world is not only optimistic about the hopes and promises of these biotechnological developments, but they are also concerned about their risks and dangers. For this reason Governments all over the world are struggling to formulate regulations to steer these developments in order to protect human dignity which is emerging as the most fundamental value in today's thorny issues in bioethics.
