A group of students from the Yaiza Secondary School has won the third prize for a research paper on in vitro humans presented at the 5th Canary Islands Student Meeting of Science History held recently in Tenerife.
According to the notification sent to the management of the IES of
Yaiza, the students Amanda Ferrera Morales, Marta Aurora Gómez Tolvannen and Teresa Lin Quin, coordinated by the teachers Camino Morales and Andrés González, won third prize for a research paper.
The report notes that "recreating nature has been an aspiration
divine of a science, the human one, in a progress that has made us
consider the ethical boundaries of phenomena such as fertilization
in-vitro, the freezing of gametes or embryos and the techniques associated with them
associated (sic)... The debate remains open, appealing to science, to
law, to politics, to ethics, ultimately, to controversy in its
noblest sense."
