The progress of the biotechnologies disclose new sceneries to which bioethics reflection has to compare. The production of hybrids, chimeras and transgenic organisms using gametes or human genetic material is among the most burning and actual matters. The article insists, according to the teaching of Donum Vitae, on the unlawfulness of the different forms of hybrids and chimeras, while it consider not illegitimate in principle the transgenesis with genes of human origin also in superior mammals, provided that some prudential conditions are respected. The document on the Xenotransplants of the Pontifical Academy for Life shares this perspective of cautious opening to the transgenesis. The positions of the Academy are been criticized by a group of Australian ethicists whose arguments are examined and rejected in the present article.
