Resumo

The purpose of this paper is to suggest that John Finnis’ basic goods may provide a reasonable basis for present-day bio-rights. To this end we start by recalling the present situation of human rights –which are not at their best, but rather in a situation of hyper-pluralistic fragmentation and proliferation– and their need for a foundation; in particular, for the so-called bio-rights. In the following, we will present the main aspects of John Finnis’ work regarding basic goods and their demands; especially their relationship with rights. To conclude, we will discuss if considering John Finnis’s basic goods as foundation for bio-rights would allow us to give a minimum of order and meaning in the mentioned landscape of proliferation and hyper-pluralism.
