The Reality of Human Dignity in Law and Bioethics
Adopting an interdisciplinary perspective, this volume explores the reality of the principle of human dignity – a core value which is increasingly invoked in our societies and legal systems. This book provides a systematic overview of the legal and philosophical concept in sixteen countries representing different cultural and religious contexts and examines in particular its use in a developing case law (including of the European Court of Human Rights and of the Inter-American Court of Human Rights). Whilst omnipresent in the context of bioethics, this book reveals its wider use in healthcare more generally, treatment of prisoners, education, employment, and matters of life and death in ma...
The Female Body : A journey through Law, Culture and Medicine
Object of fascination and fantasy, the female body can be idealized, reified or shrouded. “It is we who make women what they are worth and that is why they are worthless”, proclaimed Mirabeau in the days of the Enlightenment, to which Aragon later replied: “Woman is the future of Man”. The ambiguities of the female body are therein exposed. This work examines the relationship between the female body and biomedicine. Many possibilities are offered to women through biomedical techniques: from assistance to procreate (with assisted reproduction) to refusal to do so (contraception, voluntary sterilization, termination of pregnancy); to be informed of genetic predispositions (through the ...
Catholicism and the Welfare State in Secular France
Even though the policy impact of Catholicism has increasingly been acknowledged, existing scholarship lacks a coherent view on its changing influence over time and in different political contexts. In this book, Fabio Bolzonar investigates the influence of Catholicism on developments in French social protection from World War II to the mid-2010s. He discusses the factors that have favoured or inhibited it and explores the hybridization between Catholic values and secular principles in the social engagement of Catholic actors in secular France. By doing so, this multidisciplinary study integrates current scholarship, which has given limited attention to the changing patterns of Catholic involv...
Screening the Single Euploid Embryo
Intended for readers with a background in fertility medicine as well as those less familiar with IVF, this comprehensive work presents an update on preimplantation genetic testing to enable single embryo transfer (SET). An international cast of contributors explains the treatment sequence—from ovulation induction to luteal support—aiming to transfer only one euploid embryo. Applications of molecular techniques for gamete and embryo assessment are fully detailed, with a focus on the strengths and limitations of each. In addition, expert commentary is shared across a range of regulatory challenges associated with embryo screening and cryopreservation. As access to advanced reproductive technology increases against a sharper background of healthcare reform, clinicians, economists, bioethicists and legislators alike will find this new volume relevant and highly accessible.
Principles of international biolaw
Rapid advances in genetics and medicine present both opportunities and threats to the advancement of human rights and public health in this era of globalization. While such advances contribute significantly to progress against disease, they may also pose profound global public policy concerns in that the ethical and policy considerations that follow from scientific advances lag far behind. In this context, the aim of this book is to present the current global efforts to develop common principles relating to biomedicine. Section I sets forth the pivotal role that the principle of human dignity plays in this domain, and identifies a number of other principles that can be drawn from the recent ...

Reassembling Motherhood
The word “mother” traditionally meant a woman who bears and nurtures a child. In recent decades, changes in social norms and public policy as well as advances in reproductive technologies and the development of markets for procreation and care have radically expanded definitions of motherhood. But while maternity has become a matter of choice for more women, the freedom to make reproductive decisions is unevenly distributed. Restrictive policies, socioeconomic disadvantages, cultural mores, and discrimination force some women into motherhood and prevent others from caring for their children. Reassembling Motherhood brings together contributors from across the disciplines to consider the ...
Le don de gamètes
Le don de gamètes est souvent pensé comme un geste altruiste et généreux permettant à ses bénéficiaires de réaliser leur désir d’être parents, et la demande de couples en attente de don a conduit le législateur à multiplier les prises de risque pour assurer sa promotion. Pourtant, les revendications des enfants nés d’un don de gamètes, relatives notamment à la levée de l’anonymat du donneur, sont révélatrices des difficultés graves qu’il suscite. Malgré tout, la loi de 2011 a autorisé le don de gamètes par des personnes n’ayant pas fait l’expérience de la procréation, ce qui met en cause leur capacité à donner un consentement en connaissance de cause et ...
Maternité dérobée
Depuis la première fécondation in vitro, en 1976, les nouvelles technologies de reproduction ont continué de bouleverser les pratiques médicales. Maintenant, il est même possible de faire appel à une tierce personne pour se reproduire. Le recours aux mères porteuses est-il un progrès scientifique duquel il faut se réjouir, ou une régression sur les plans social et éthique? Quelles sont les conséquences d’une telle pratique sur l’expérience de la maternité et sur les droits humains? Sa légitimation et son éventuelle commercialisation ne sont-elles pas des étapes qui requièrent un débat large et éclairé? Maria De Koninck plaide pour que le bien-être de l’enfant à naître soit mis au coeur de ce débat.
Méthodologie du pluralisme juridique
On reconnaît aujourd’hui que la pluralité juridique, c’est-à-dire la coexistence dans un même espace de plusieurs ordres ou systèmes juridiques concurrentiels, caractérise un grand nombre de sociétés de par le monde.

Ce manuel a pour objet de guider le chercheur désireux de mieux connaître les aspects théoriques, méthodologiques et pratiques du pluralisme juridique. Il lui permettra notamment de se familiariser avec les fonctions...
