DE LA GARZA, Ana Laura  and  ZONENSZAIN-LAITER, Yael. Bioethical Analysis of the Use of Genomic Biotechnology in Translational Nutrition. pers.bioét. [online]. 2022, vol.26, n.2, e2624.  Epub Feb 16, 2023. ISSN 0123-3122.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pebi.2022.26.2.4.

The advances in biotechnology and the fascinating perspectives of nutritional genomics in clinical practice have led to considering various aspects that impact the comprehensive benefit of the human being. Integrating personalized nutrition in clinical care requires a bioethical analysis focused on the person who, based on their unique nutrigenetic profile, contributes to health care through individualized nutritional treatment. The bioethical analysis contemplates the principles of therapeutic totality, freedom, and integrity. In addition, the use of nutrigenetic tests highlights not only the confidentiality of data, which is assumed, but also the right to privacy.

Keywords : Bioethics; person; nutritional genomics; freedom; truth.
