Resumen

En este artículo analizamos el nacimiento de los primeros seres humanos editados genéticamente mediante la tecnología CRISPR/Cas9 desde una perspectiva que contempla las condiciones de posibilidad que lo han habilitado e impulsado. En contra de los abordajes ofrecidos hasta el momento por la bioética, el trabajo brinda una lectura que no reduce el evento a un mero acto de desobediencia individual, sino que lo concibe como el resultado esperado de ciertas lógicas epistémicas, institucionales, políticas y económicas de la tecnociencia. A su vez, reflexionamos acerca del rol que ha asumido la bioética frente al avance de CRISPR/Cas9 y las respuestas que ha otorgado ante el conocimiento de su aplicación en embriones humanos. Concluimos el artículo sugiriendo que el modelo de la bioética basado en la heteronomía y el control externo de la ciencia y la tecnología no resulta significativo ni eficaz en el contexto señalado, a la par que proponemos como alternativa un enfoque sistémico.

Abstract

In this article, an analysis is presented on the birth of the first human beings subjected to an embryonic genetic modification using CRISPR/Cas9 technology from a perspective that considers the conditions that has led to its emergence. As opposed to the approaches presented so far by bioethics, an alternative account is presented that does not reduce the event to an act of individual disobedience, but rather conceives it as the expected result of certain epistemic, institutional, political, and economic dimensions of technoscience. Moreover, thoughts are presented on the role assumed by bioethics with regards to CRISPR/Cas9 and the response it has provided to its application in human embryos. It is concluded by suggesting that the model of bioethics based on heteronomy and the external control of science and technology is neither significant nor effective in the indicated context, with an alternative systemic approach being provided.
