| Sumario: | Resumen: The right to life has a unique and outstanding importance in the
International Human Rights Law. However, at the same time, this right suffers
from new threats and contradictions. In this paper, I will address these paradoxes,
concerning the moment, in which the legal protection of the human being begins;
the tendency to accommodate the beginning of life to biotechnological interests;
the manipulation of language, as well as the relativization of the right to life and
the pretensions of justifying abortion and euthanasia as a requirement of the right
to life. I will offer an assessment of these paradoxes in the light of the Magisterium
of John Paul II, and I will end with four signs of hope and commitment at the
beginning of the 21st century in relation to the protection of the right to life. |
