Background:

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze the ethical and legal implications of the Artavia Murillo v. Costa Rica judgment.
To assert that human life possesses inherent dignity from conception, independent of legal personhood status.
To advocate for the principle of favoring life in bioethical and legal considerations.

Main Methods:

Legal interpretation of the Inter-American Convention and its application to human life.

Related Experiment Videos

Examination of the concept of personhood in relation to the reality of human existence.

Main Results:

The judgment incorrectly interprets the Convention, implying personhood is not present from conception.
Human life, characterized by the capacity to will and understand, holds superior dignity and should be preserved and respected.
Ethical treatment necessitates preventing the destruction of human life and respecting its integrity and nature as an end in itself.

Conclusions:

The concept of personhood is a consequence, not a prerequisite, of the special dignity of human life.
Outdated legal norms hinder the recognition of unborn life's status, despite scientific advancements.
Bioethics and law, guided by the principle of 'primum non nocere' (first, do no harm), must prioritize life, especially in cases of doubt.
