The unprecedented legal implications that non-therapeutic genetic manipulation in pre-implantation embryonic state points out demand a, until now, unexplored approach, which, at the same time, requires the redefinition and extension of legal-binding status of traditional categories of law related to constitutional, restorative, criminal and international law. In this paper, I will identify and define a juridical framework to regulate non-therapeutic genetic manipulation in pre-implantation embryonic state, specifically when that manipulation introduces deteriorations, disabilities or illnesses, which imply objective harms for a new subject of rights who should be considered in the juridical map: the future person. In addition, I intend to remedy the existing legal vacuum and loopholes in this matter by proposing to update, expand and deepen international legal systems through the juridical re-categorization of non-therapeutic genetic manipulation and the concept of legal existence of the person.
