I. Respect for Human Life

2275
“One
must hold as licit procedures carried out on the human embryo which respect the
life and integrity of the embryo and do not involve disproportionate risks for
it, but are directed toward its healing the improvement of its condition of
health, or its individual survival.”⁸²
“It is immoral to produce human embryos intended for exploitation as
disposable biological material.”⁸³
“Certain attempts to influence chromosomic or genetic inheritance are not
therapeutic but are aimed at producing human beings selected according to sex
or other predetermined qualities.
Such manipulations are contrary to the personal dignity of the human being and
his integrity and identity”⁸⁴ which are unique and unrepeatable.
