de incapacitatea de a individualiza cu
exactitate cementul acelular intrinsec i
de dificultile studierii stadiilor precoce
de formare a rdcinii la dinii umani [4,
15]. Aceste aspecte nu pot fi explorate
dect prin cercetri pe material
embriologic uman.
Argument
n acest context, prezentarea sintetic
a unor repere fundamentale de bioetic,
implicit operaionale n cercetarea axat
pe dezvoltarea sistemului stomatognat n
general, i a dintelui n particular, este
absolut oportun.
Conceptul de embrioncontroverse n definire
Atitudinea general a societii asupra
conceptului de embrion a traversat
modificri continue i contextuale. n
cadrul complex al dezbaterilor generate
de implementarea principiilor bioeticii n
cercetarea biomedical, valoarea moral
intrinsec pe care embrionul o are,
conferindu-i statutul de fiin uman
(potenial), constituie un punct de
referin.
Un curent important de opinie
consider c embrionii au, chiar din
momentul iniial al concepiei, calitatea
de via uman, care trebuie protejat n
mod absolut [17]. Acest punct de vedere
constituie un argument teologic, fiind
susinut att de biserica catolic, ct i de
biserica ortodox [18-23]. Consecutiv
atribuirii statutului de fiine umane, n
contextul
teologic
sus-menionat,
distrugerea sau manipularea lor nu poate
fi acceptat.
Pe de alt parte, un segment din
comunitatea tiinific consider c
valoarea moral a embrionilor este
relativ n raport cu cea a persoanelor
70
Consideraii finale
Indubitabil, cercetarea direcionat
asupra dezvoltrii dintelui trebuie s
respecte
principiile bioetice care
opereaz n toate domeniile medicale n
care este utilizat materialul embrionar
uman. Consecutiv, n implementarea
oricrui proiect de cercetare, indiferent
de potenialele beneficii pentru stadiul
actual al cunoaterii, valoarea moral a
embrionului constituie elementul care
primeaz.
