The research involving the biological technology is being focus of intransigent discussions, since it is known that the new knowledge produced by that area are susceptible to cause radicals transformations in the man’s treatment with life, including change of paradigms about the own human life and adoption of new practices destined to preserve her, to prolong her, to alter her, although the difficulty exists in specifying such changes. The collective interest presents in the developing progress of the medical science that exists looking at one side of the question and the individual interest, the respect to the human being, the respect of their individual rights, the respect of their dignity and physical integrity, etc., that exist looking at the other side, demand to rethink about the use of the modern technologies and a juridical regulation to fix secure limits.
