Abstract: this essay deals with the question of the human embryo, its ontological status and its right to life from conception onwards. The subject of the embryo concerns not only our original human condition, but also the integrity and truth of any philosophy that looks in this direction. Therefore, the author develops a comparison with the relevant position of Emanuele Severino on this topic, with the aim of showing that it cannot pass the scrutiny of logical and metaphysical investigation.
