This paper analyzes the Spanish criminal legal regulation of scientific activity concerning genetics. Specifically, the focus of the analysis is the conception of the legal good protected in the regulation to determine whether the human genetic heritage is an interest worthy of criminal protection. Thus, it is especially relevant that genetic activity is not addressed in the same way in our legislation. Rather, a differentiation is made according to whether the genetics subject to manipulation are that of human beings or other living beings. In one case or another, the basis of criminal intervention seems to change, resulting in a differentiated criminalization in the Criminal Code. That is, genetics as a common element to all behaviors is relegated to the background prioritizing, as necessary, the legally protected interest in each case.
