This article aims to characterize the genetic law only with regard to interventions in the human genome in the area of biomedicine, from the ethical and legal principles that must be part of its philosophical foundation to this en end we analyze the most important statements issued agencies and international associations related to the subject to identify the ethical and legal principles that should guide the characterization of the genetic right.
