Reply to Lebech or the ontological humility of the lawyer faced with philosophical consistency.
Abstract
Replying to the criticisms of Lebech, the author tries, regarding the issue of embryo research, to draw a line between what could be an international legal approach and what is a philosophical ontological quest. It is then up to the reader to decide if, and how far, these two different approaches can be complementary.
