Abstract
The development of the embryo can be regarded as a process of teleological self-control. The teleological state of the embryo manifests itself as a unity of essence-being, process, and potentiality. It is an expression of the embryo's end-in-itself character. This character forbids experiments with human embryos in which they are exclusively used and consumed as objects.
