This article examines the Laws on Human Assisted Reproduction and Biomedical Research in Spain. The Laws permit the use of human ovules, embryos and fetuses. Close to the technical and ethical problems that carry the research on embryonic stem cells, the detection of induced reprogramming of adult cells to an embryonic stage (iPS) opens up new perspectives in regenerative medicine. It makes unnecessary the use of frozen embryos or produced by nuclear transfer. These reasons would involve a review of the Spanish Legislation in this matter, in order that the human life is an ethical barrier and a fundamental to actual biomedical research.
本文探讨了西班牙的人类辅助生殖和生物医学研究相关法律。这些法律允许使用人类卵子、胚胎和胎儿。除了与胚胎干细胞研究相关的技术和伦理问题外，诱导成年细胞重编程至胚胎阶段（诱导多能干细胞）的发现为再生医学开辟了新的前景。这使得无需使用冷冻胚胎或通过核移植产生的胚胎。出于这些原因，有必要对西班牙在此问题上的立法进行审查，以便人类生命成为当前生物医学研究的伦理障碍和根本准则。
