What exactly is an embryo? In German law, the embryo is defined according to the criterion of developmental biological totipotency. But when somatic cells are reprogrammed into induced pluripotent stem cells, it can at present not be completely ruled out that these cells undergo a temporary totipotent stage. The contributions to this volume examine what consequences arise out of this hypothetical assumption for the biological significance and the moral and legal assessment of human embryos.Setting out from the presentation of the historical concept and current interpretations of the term developmental biological totipotency, the legal section of the volume examines to what extent totipotency is an adequate criterium for the legal definition of the embryo, or whether it needs to be amended. Finally, the philosophical section reflects on the definition of the embryo in terms of potentiality, naturalness and purpose.

Die in den vergangenen Jahrzehnten entwickelten zahlreichen Methoden für eine artifizielle Erzeugung menschlicher Embryonen werfen die Frage nach der ethischen und rechtlichen Bewertung dieser Entitäten auf. Vorrangig ist zu klären, inwieweit künstlich erzeugte Entitäten unseren normativen Auffassungen von menschlichen Embryonen entsprechen und welche Kriterien für die Beurteilung heranzuziehen sind. Eine wichtige Bedeutung kommt den Kriterien der Natürlichkeit und Artifizialität sowie der Potentialität und der entwicklungsbiologischen Totipotenz zu.The numerous methods for an artificial generation of human embryos which have been developed over the past decades raise the question of the ethical and legal evaluation of these entities. It is of fundamental importance to clarify to what extent artificially generated entities correspond to our normative conceptions of human embryos and which criteria are to be used for the assessment. The criteria of naturalness and artificiality as well as potentiality and developmental totipotency turn out to be essential for the evaluation.
