Resum

En els últims anys el desenvolupament de models in vitro amb cèl·lules mare humanes que simulen el desenvolupament embrionari primerenc ha viscut un gran progrés. Les dificultats per a accedir a embrions humans, l'escassetat de material embrionari i els desafiaments tècnics, legals i ètics existents sobre la recerca i experimentació amb embrions humans in vitro continuen sent una barrera per a avançar en el coneixement de la embriogènesi després de la gastrulació. Per això diferents mecanismes cel·lulars subjacents a la formació de les línies cel·lulars en els éssers humans continuen sent desconeguts. En el present treball intentaré reflectir diversos dels aspectes que són motiu d'incerteses jurídiques internacionals en relació amb la recerca amb embrioides com a model experimental.
