Abstract:
The new techniques of genetic engineering and editing have presented internalizing potential centered on
autonomy and personal liberty. Contextually, eugenics and human genome problem required a holistic
approach in complex interaction of technological excellence with moral and cultural values. Analysis of
eugenics progress from ”project” to modern interpretation based on 4 bioethic sociocultural models to
conceptualize classic autonomy and redetermination of postmodern ”humanity” dilemma. Historical sources
of eugenics appearance, university, national and international publications, case studies, have been studied for
the current study, constituting a broad meta-analysis. Also, the visions of classical sociocultural models have
been adapted to contemporary eugenics in order to offer a vision adapted to reality. Due to the
implementation of advanced techniques and technologies in reproductive medicine, the sociocultural models
of bioethics present a continuous updating to maintain the integrity of moral values and human life. The study
of the 4 models highlighted 4 dimensions of addressing the bioethics-directed reproduction dilemma, with the
offer of 4 points of view on the subject. Therefore, the socio-biological, personalist, liberal-radical and
pargmatic-utilitarian models have quintessentialised the sui generis concept of ”cultivation of the limit” to
meet the great genetic discoveries in the biospherocentrist, individual and societal plan. Involvement
techniques in the genome and the eugenics promotion viewed through the bioethic prism are not fully denied
or accepted, but adjusted to a society surprised by the impetuousness of genomics emergence in medicine. It is
essential for „bios” editing to be guided by the highest moral values.
