Embryo Politics

Since the first fertilization of a human egg in the laboratory in 1968, scientific and technological breakthroughs have raised ethical dilemmas and generated policy controversies on both sides of the Atlantic. Embryo, stem cell, and cloning research have provoked impassioned political debate about their religious, moral, legal, and practical implications. National governments make rules that govern the creation, destruction, and use of embryos in the laboratory—but they do so in profoundly different ways. In Embryo Politics, Thomas Banchoff provides a comprehensive overview of political struggles about embryo research during four decades in four countries—the United States, the United Ki...

Medical devices are the bread and butter from which health care and clinical research are derived. Such devices are used for patient care, genetic testing, clinical trials, and experimental clinical investigations. Without medical devices, there is no clinical research or patient care. Without life-adjusting devices, there are no medical procedures or surgery. Without life-saving and life-maintaining devices, there is no improvement in well-being and quality of life. Without innovative medical devices and experimentation, there can be no medical progress or patient safety. Medical devices and medical technology are used to create or support many different products and medical-surgical proced...

The Right to Die with Dignity

  • Categories: Law

“Can I choose to die?” As the number of requests for euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide continues to rise, human rights law faces a new conflict: the right to die vs. the right to life...

This book provides a comprehensive understanding of the right to die and sheds light on its possible future under the European Convention on Human Rights. After setting a clear framework by defining the key terminology, the book takes a two-part approach to achieving its aim. The first part focuses on the right to die in practice by examining s...

Genetics and the Politics of Security

Presenting a social science perspective on the contemporary gaze on the body of the suspect, this book considers how definitions of criminality, offenses, individual rights, and the concepts of identity and difference have been altered by changes in the biological status of the human. Spurred by rapid developments in genetics and information technology, a number of countries, including France, the United States, the United Kingdom, China, and the Netherlands, have considerably expanded their genetic databases used by the police and the criminal justice system. Whilst this makes it possible to compare DNA left at the scene of a crime with that of an individual known to the police, helping to ...

Audrey Kermalvezen apprend à 29 ans qu’elle et son frère sont nés grâce à un don de sperme. Ils sont 70 000 en France dans leur cas. La majorité d’entre eux l’ignorent. Des questions la hantent : son frère et elle ont-ils le même géniteur ? A-t-elle déjà croisé des demi-frères et sœurs inconnus ? A-t-elle un risque de consanguinité avec son mari, lui-même issu d’un don ? Autant d’interrogations qui se heurtent à la protection de l’anonymat des donneurs. Commence alors une véritable enquête : qui sont les donneurs de sperme ? Pourquoi l’État interdit-il l’accès à leurs origines aux enfants concernés ? Les donneurs veulent-ils tous rester anonymes ? Prati...
