title: [Some remarks on the protection of human embryo in the Spanish law].
abstract: We study in this article the Spanish legislation regulating the juridical status of the human embryo, in a comparative analysis with the International Right and the legislation in other countries of our cultural environment, leading to the conclusión that ours contradicts the international compromises of Spain and is less protective with the unborn human life than the juridical systems which advocate for the human being from the very moment of conception.
