Reflexões Sobre A Natureza Jurídica Dos Embriões Excedentários Na Experiência Brasileira Contemporânea, Carolina Altoé Velasco

Carolina Altoé Velasco

O presente trabalho tem por finalidade examinar algumas das implicações trazidas pela biotecnologia para a sociedade contemporânea. São analisados os fatores geradores dos embriões excedentários, bem como a busca pela melhor forma de repensar os reflexos revelados pelo biodireito neste contexto. Constata-se como fundamental o equilíbrio entre tecnologia, direito e moral, a fim de compatibilizar o progresso científico – que não tem o objetivo ultrapassar os limites do próprio ser humano. São demonstradas, ainda, as divergências existentes sobre a natureza jurídica do embrião humano excedentário, bem como as questões éticas decorrentes. Os embriões excedentários devem, contudo, receber a tutela jurídica …

La Protection Des Données À Caractère Personnel Dans Le Contexte De La Construction En Piliers De L'Union Européenne, Franck Dumortier, Yves Poullet

Franck Dumortier

Dans son arrêt du 30 mai 2006, la Cour de justice des Communautés européennes (CJCE) a annulé la décision de la Commission constatant la protection adéquate des données PNR par les Etats-Unis et la décision du Conseil approuvant la conclusion d'un accord sur leur transfert vers ce pays, estimant que ces décisions n’étaient pas fondées sur une base juridique adéquate.

La question fondamentale posée à la Cour en cette occasion était celle des critères de distinction entre piliers appliqués à la protection des données à caractère personnel. Dans son arrêt, la CJCE à réaffirmé le principe selon lequel c’est bien …

What Is 'Private' Data?, Karen Mccullagh

Karen McCullagh

The development of a frontier-free Internal Market and of the so-called 'information society' have resulted in an increase in the flow of personal data between EU Member States. To remove potential obstacles to such transfers data protection legislation was introduced. One of the underpinning principles of Directive 95/46/EC is the protection of privacy. Yet, the legislation does not provide a conclusive understanding of the terms ‘privacy’ or ‘private’ data. Rather, privacy protection is to be achieved through the regulation of the conditions under which personal data may be processed. An assessment of whether, 10 years after the enactment of the …

Regulatory Data Protection Under Trips Article 39(3) And Article 10bis Of The Paris Convention: Is There A Doctor In The House?, Christopher Wadlow

Christopher Wadlow

Article 39 of the WTO TRIPs Agreement has attracted much attention for the protection its final paragraph affords for regulatory data in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, but the literature has tended to treat Article 39(3) in individual isolation. This is to ignore one of the most striking features of Article 39, which is that in contrast to every other substantive provision of TRIPs, it expressly defines its entire scope of application by reference to a pre-existing treaty, the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, and specifically Article 10bis of the latter, dealing with unfair competition. This article …

Legal And Technological Normativity: More (And Less) Than Twin Sisters, Mireille Hildebrandt

Mireille Hildebrandt

Within science technology and society studies the focus has long been on descriptive micro-analyses. Several authors have raised the issue of the normative implications of the findings of research into socio-technical devices and infrastructures, while some claim that material artifacts have moral significance or should even be regarded as moral actors. In this contribution the normative impact of technologies is investigated and compared with the normative impact of legal norms, arguing that a generic concept of normativity is needed that does not depend on the intention of whoever designed either a law or a technology. Furthermore this contribution develops the …
