Summary/Abstract: Biometrical practices represent a postmodern type of slavery in the XXI century, being incompatible with human rights, the rule of law and democracy; these practices mustn’t be tolerated by the international community, or by states that are members in international organizations having as main purpose to insure high democratic standards. “Legal” acts emitted by Romanian authorities regarding the introduction of biometric health cards in Romania are incompatible with the provisions of regional fundamental legal instruments, ratified or signed by Romania, as a democratic state. The EU, as well as Romanian authorities, in recommending or imposing some measures, actions, policies or normative acts, must respect not only human rights, the rights of European citizens, regional and international legal instruments, but also the Romanian constitutional provisions.
