ABSTRACT
Why do I, as we come to the end of a very successful network on questions concerning the ethics of human procreation and embryo research in which we have made progress in transparency and achieved better understanding of this field of applied ethics, insist on drawing to attention some dilemmas that need to be addressed in the future? I think that behind our analytical and normative thinking there are some background considerations that must be understood and become more visible than is the case in a more or less biomedical approach. I try to expose some problems concerning the limits of this approach with the intention of encouraging a follow up of philosophical and theological differentiation.
