Abstract
The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the EU (2000) emphasizes its rejection of eugenics, based on an connection between biology, medicine and economics immediately jeopardized. As Habermas discovers, in fact, in the intersection of in vitro fertilization, pre-implantation diagnosis and genetic engineering, a new form of eugenics is taking place that no longer pass through the State, but through the choices of those who commission the generation of ‘their’ children to technology. This is the way of liberal eugenics, in its unexpected links with the economic model of human capital.
