Biotechnologies and Human Dignity

Abstract: In this article, the authors review some contemporary cases where biotechnologies have been employed, where they have had global implications, and where there has been considerable debate. The authors argue that the concept of dignity, which lies at the center of such documents as the 2005 Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, the International Declaration on Human Genetic Data (2003) and the Universal Declaration on the Human Genome and Human Rights (1997) is useful, if not necessary, in engagi… Show more

“…Relevant literature indicates that recently HR have been explored within these contexts which are considered as SSI. These studies dwell on developments in biotechnology (Hornosty, 2011;Sweet & Masciulli, 2011), global warming and climate change (Clarke, 2010;Moro, 2002;Rademacher, 2010), debates regarding the use of nuclear power (Benz, 2013;Ramamurthy, 2011) and their influence on HR and equality in global terms. Considering literature findings regarding science and HR education, the accessible sources are limited and there was no study focusing on developing attitudes towards HR through SSI in science education.…”

“…The debates surrounding new reproductive and genetic technologies, cloning and transplantation medicine and the use of genetic material in experimentation with inhuman species, have prompted international bodies and national governments to issue reports, declarations or conventions on the application of biotechnologies, in which the notion of dignity is adopted as the ultimate reason behind the new regulations in these matters. The principle of respect for dignity holds a central position in the UNESCO and UN instruments dealing with bioethics that have been adopted during the past two decades, for example, in the Universal Declarations on the Human Genome and Human Rights (1997), the International Declaration on Human Genetic Data (2003) and the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights (2005) (Sweet and Masciulli, 2011: 6). UNESCO’s Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights aims ‘to promote respect for human dignity and protection of human rights’ (van der Graaf and van Delden, 2009: 152).…”

“…Küresel ısınma, organ nakli, insan genom projesi, genetik testlerin kullanımı, genetiği değiştirilmiş organizmalar, alternatif enerji kaynakları, nükleer enerji santralleri, genetik testler, klonlama gibi konular SBK'lara örnek olarak verilebilir (Doğanay ve Öztürk, 2017;Ozturk, 2018;Topçu, 2015). SBK'ların büyük bir bölümü insan hakları ve özgürlükleri için de tartışmalı konulardır (Chang-Rundgren ve Rundgren, 2010; Doğanay ve Öztürk, 2017;Ozturk, 2018;Sweet ve Masciulli, 2011). Bunlardan, genetik teknolojisi temelli SBK'ların temel hak ve özgürlükler üzerindeki olası etkileri onu uluslararası tartışmaların konusu haline getirmiş ve uluslararası sözleşmelerde de yer bulmasına neden olmuştur.…”

“…Bu doğrultuda, İnsan Hakları ve Biyotıp sözleşmesi (2003), Avrupa Birliği Temel Haklar Bildirgesi (2000), İnsan Genomu ve İnsan Hakları Evrensel Bildirgesi (2000) gibi uluslararası belgelerde genetik teknolojisi alanındaki ilerlemelerin insan hakları ve özgürlükleri üzerindeki olası olumsuz etkilerini kontrol almayı amaçlamıştır. Diğer taraftan, bilim çevreleri de genetik teknolojisindeki ilerlemelerin insanlık onuru, kişisel bilgilerin gizliliği, ayrımcılık yasağı, sağlık hakkı, meslek seçme ve çalışma hakkı gibi çok sayıda hak üzerinde etkisi olduğunu/olabileceğini belirtmektedir (Caulfield ve Brownsword, 2006;Çankaya, 2009;Doğanay ve Öztürk, 2017;Gostin, 1991;Hornosty, 2011;Sweet ve Masciulli, 2011). Örneğin, genetik testlerden elde edilen bilgilerin kullanımı çalışma hayatında ayrımcılığa uğramaya neden olabilmektedir (Miller ve Tucker, 2017).…”
