In this article I want to point to importance of human naturalness touching the problem of protection of human life, which increased in a few last dacades, because of using new biomedical methods. From the analysis of this debate it is evident that it is almost unreal to find a consensus in the issues of protection of human life. On one side there si an opinion, which takes human life as untouchable value, on the other side there is an opinion, which justify interference to natural proces of human life, because everybody has right of choice. But the main question is, if we are competent to interfere on human naturalness. This article is therefore touching the problem of understanding human naturalness.In the first place the historical development of understanding human naturalness is described in this article. The main part anlysis understanding of human naturalness in modern scientific-technological period. Generally it is not sure that it is possible to answer the question what human naturalness really means.
