Property in the Body
Commodification of the human body is gaining ground, strengthened by powerful interests. This book helps us understand and regulate it.
Global food security: ethical and legal challenges
Food security will exist when all people, at all times, have physical and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food to meet their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life (as stated in the Rome Declaration in 1996). Given the dimension of the current global food crisis, food security means adopting effective and specific actions at individual, household, national, regional and global levels. Food security invites us to reflect upon ethical principles like human equity, justice between current and future generations, respect for human dignity and sustainable food production. We strive to maintain our basic ethical convictions and engage in societal debat...
Altruism Reconsidered
As the use of human body parts has become increasingly commercialized, a need has arisen for new approaches to regulation that moves beyond the paradigm of altruism. During the course of this discussion, the notion of property has become a key concept. Focusing on practical and conceptual perspectives, the multidisciplinary group of authors, which includes specialists in philosophy, law, sociology, biology and medicine, have come together with practicing lawyers to consider both legal provisions and patterns of regulation in countries across Europe. Identifying divergences between different legal traditions, the authors explore various conceptual models which could be used to improve and to guide policy making. With this twin focus on practical and conceptual perspectives, this volume sets the standard for a detailed and innovative discussion of issues surrounding the regulation of research on human tissue.

Estudios jurídicos en Memoria de José M.ª Lidón
La presente obra es una recopilación de sesenta y ocho estudios jurídicos realizados por colegas y amigos de José María Lidón relacionados con el mundo de la Justicia y partícipes en una u otra forma del mismo anhelo que él por un Derecho asentado en la libertad e igualdad reales y efectivas de todas las personas, que contribuya a la construcción de una sociedad cada vez más democrática, es decir, más humana. El título de la obra, Estudios Jurídicos en Memoria de José María Lidón, quiere revelar que el verdadero nexo de unión de los artículos recopilados es la voluntad de mantener la memoria de José Mari, que nace de nuestro afecto por él, pero que también constituye un deber. Mantener la memoria de José Mari es mantener la denuncia de la insoportable injusticia de su asesinato a manos de ETA; relegarlo al olvido sería tanto como permitir que la injusticia de su muerte viniera a menos, sería tanto como sancionar la injusticia de su muerte y de esta forma hacerse cómplice de ella.
A Prova Genética no Processo Penal
Cuida-se do estudo da mais destacada prova pericial no momento. Os avanços tecnológicos e o desenvolvimento da ciência genética fomentaram o interesse do exame de DNA na investigação criminal. A obra visa identificar a admissibilidade da prova genética em diversas circunstâncias: a colhida diretamente no corpo do acusado; a retirada da vítima; a extraída de terceiros; a obtida extracorporeamente, encontrada no local do crime ou descartada; a colhida com engano. Sem descuidar da análise da autoincriminação, do direito do acusado recusar-se a tolerar o acesso ao seu material genético. O tema ainda é desenvolvido sob o viés dos princípios da Bioética, trata da polêmica criação do Banco de Dados Genéticos, avalia a prova genética a partir da sua confiabilidade e analisa a sua infalibilidade. E se é possível confessar por meio do exame de DNA. Certamente, o texto é atual e de inevitável interesse acadêmico e prático-profissional.
