Assisted Human Reproduction: an Analysis in the Light of Habermasian Moral in Liberal Eugenics

Abstract

The Assisted Human Reproduction brings in itself the possibility of human creation inside laboratory limits, but always circumscribed to parents that aim the emergence of life there instrumentalized. However, the free gene manipulation and the process sui generis bring ethic questions likely to be analized under the most clarified light of nowadays philosophy. Habermas, this way, rises through his Communicative Action Theory and post-modern reason, as a critic of genetic alteration instruments that exist not on Assisted Human Reproduction, but in analogous procedure: the Liberal Eugenics. While sees in this process a paradox inside the Economic Liberalism, the philosopher holds up, for a long period of time, to the ethic and rational analisis of speeches and intersubjective freedoms wrapped in the refered eugenic process, aiming this study the habermasian argumentative equiparation to Assisted Human Reproduction, aimed on the bibliographical research of Habermas, pointing the correlation between assisted reproduction and liberal eugenics.
