Authors

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the theoretical discussion of the issues involved in the application of Personality Rights to the embryo, analyzing in a secondary level the decision of the Federal Supreme Court (ADI nº 3510/DF). Having presented the problem, it is considered structuring the hypothesis of a constitutional amendment in order to pacify the issue, at which point the possibility of carrying out the constitutionality control is studied, emphasizing the principle of the dignity of the human person. The research starts from the inductive-dialectical methodology, with which the objective is to investigate how the new proceduralist writing could give voices to the multiplicity of questions submitted to collegiate deliberation.
