Abstract

This review text, which presents preliminary results, aims to explore the essential foundations for understanding the position of three main authors (Dworkin, Habermas and Singer), regarding the use and limits that should exist regarding this type of patenting of the human genome. For this purpose, it is structured in three sections: the first one contemplates a brief contextualization, including the Myriad Genetics case, which shows the parameters in which the patentability discussions have taken place, in order to pass, in a second moment, to the description of the positions of the named authors; and, finally, prior to the conclusions, to give an account of said positions, which allows, thanks to the exploratory methodology implemented, to exhibit the points of reference in this still unfinished discussion.
