"Redefining the Human Embryo: A Legal Perspective"

Researcher Iñigo de Miguel-Beriain proposes a new legal definition of a human embryo, suggesting that any cell structure with the potential to develop into a born human being should be considered an embryo. This redefinition aims to address the ethical and legal challenges posed by biotechnological advancements and create a universally accepted definition to standardize regulations across different countries. The proposed definition emphasizes the capacity for development as the cornerstone and could help alleviate legal uncertainty and harmonize regulations in the field of biotechnology.
