Book Description
Le décryptage du génome humain autorise désormais une manipulation du vivant humain. Mû par un souci de perfection, l'homme exploite aujourd'hui ce qui participe à son essence même, son génome. La diversité intraspécifique humaine s'en trouve perturbée, la vulnérabilité génétique augmentée. Le droit se trouve donc investi d'un rôle : préserver la nature humaine. Dès lors, faut-il penser d'autres voies pour prémunir notre humanité contre les risques d'une manipulation irréfléchie de notre génome.

Book Description
Les progrès scientifiques et technologiques transforment à un rythme accéléré le monde dans lequel nous vivons. Ces nouveaux développements placent l'humanité face à de nouveaux dilemmes. Au-delà du discours des experts, que savons-nous vraiment de l'impact de ces progrès sur notre vie quotidienne ? Avec ce premier ouvrage consacré au génome humain, les Editions du Conseil de l'Europe inaugurent une nouvelle collection intitulée " Regard éthique ". Elles entendent ainsi susciter une réflexion sur les interrogations cruciales qui découlent de ces évolutions. Dans ce premier volume, dix spécialistes de la communauté scientifique internationale apportent chacun leur éclairage sur un certain nombre de questions : Qu'est-ce que le génome humain ? Que nous apporte la recherche génomique dans les domaines de la médecine et de l'industrie, et avec quelles implications éthiques ? Que nous apprend-elle sur nos origines et nos relations avec le monde animal ? Faut-il protéger le génome humain d'une exploitation commerciale ? Cette collection, qui s'adresse à un large public, intéressera aussi bien le spécialiste que le profane.

Book Description
La rencontre de la genetique humaine et du droit invite a scruter les rapports qui les unissent dans un double examen. Le premier, theorique, conduit d'une part, a confronter les enseignements de la genetique aux concepts et aux principes a partir desquels le droit batit sa construction de l'humain et de l'humanite, et d'autre part, a s'interroger sur le statut juridique des genes humains. Le second releve de la confrontation du droit aux pratiques de la genetique : les unes concernent l'information genetique (identification des personnes, depistage des maladies hereditaires), les autres la manipulation genetique (tentation eugenique, espoirs therapeutiques).

Book Description
This volume examines the impact of advances in genetics and assisted reproduction technologies on family law, human rights and the rights of the child, including the effects of international treaties on national legislation. It surveys the theoretical, ethical and legal discussions with regard to biotechnology and family law issues and the search for a balance between safeguarding respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the need to ensure freedom of research. However, biotechnology impinges not only on isolated individuals and their rights, but also on unborn children, the family as a network of living relationships and the basic structure of any society, as well as the foundation of parentage and kinship, social organization as a whole and, finally, mankind itself. As the attention of the World turns to cloning, this book will contribute to the search for a balance between the rights and freedoms of born and yet to be born human beings and the quest for new technologies.

Book Description
This volume contains terms often found in international human rights instruments together with clear, authentic, objective and easily understandable definitions of them. Human rights are so fundamental and so important for everyone that all human rights documents should be understood by anyone, old or young, educated or uneducated, expert or non-expert. Yet many human rights conventions, declarations, instruments and volumes and papers are extremely hard to comprehend or are easily misunderstood because certain expressions and terms are not clearly defined, or are written in such a way that only those familiar with UN jargon can understand. This publication is a useful tool for those who face such difficulty in understanding UN human rights documents and other texts. The volume is easy to use, yet rich in detail, and will be an indispensable tool for practitioners, researchers and students of human rights law.

Book Description
Original and interdisciplinary, this is the first book to explore the relationship between a neoliberal mode of governance and the so-called genetic revolution. Looking at the knowledge-power relations in the post-genomic era and addressing the pressing issues of genetic privacy and discrimination in the context of neoliberal governance, this book demonstrates and explains the mechanisms of mutual production between biotechnology and cultural, political, economic and legal frameworks. In the first part Antoinette Rouvroy explores the social, political and economic conditions and consequences of this new ‘perceptual regime’. In the second she pursues her analysis through a consideration of the impact of ‘geneticization’ on political support of the welfare state and on the operation of private health and life insurances. Genetics and neoliberalism, she argues, are complicit in fostering the belief that social and economic patterns have a fixed nature beyond the reach of democratic deliberation, whilst the characteristics of individuals are unusually plastic, and within the scope of individual choice and responsibility. This book will be of interest to all students of law, sociology and politics.
