title: [Towards a supranational integration of the guiding principles on the human genome. A personal view from the Latin American perspective].
abstract: All human groupings draw up a range of values and valuational ideals. Man alone draws up values and it is these that confer content on cultures. In this particular subject matter one might speak of guiding principles regarding the Human Genome. These guiding principles are ethical values, recognised as such by the vast majority of humankind in the Western Christian culture of our time.
