Instrumentalização Da Pessoa Humana Em Face Da Biotecnologia, Carolina Altoé Velasco, Manoel Messias Peixinho, Edmir José Menezes Cruz Nov 2007

Instrumentalização Da Pessoa Humana Em Face Da Biotecnologia, Carolina Altoé Velasco, Manoel Messias Peixinho, Edmir José Menezes Cruz

Carolina Altoé Velasco

As intensas e rápidas transformações no modo de vida da humanidade através das inovações científico-tecnológicas produzem novas situações e relações não previstas diretamente no ordenamento jurídico. Surge a necessidade do aplicador do Direito buscar adequação normativa fundada em regras e princípios que promovam a dignidade humana. Razão do presente é abordar uma temática reflexiva sobre os direitos fundamentais, destacando o singular, inalienável e intransferível valor da pessoa humana. A percepção da dignidade da pessoa humana como valor-fonte aponta para a responsabilidade ética e profissional capaz de produzir e avaliar em sua ação laborativa a essência do bem, do certo, do …

Electronic Government And Digital Inclusion: Examples From India, Subhajit Basu Jun 2007

Electronic Government And Digital Inclusion: Examples From India, Subhajit Basu

Subhajit Basu

This presentation has two parts: In the first part I look into Development, effect of technology on development, obviously technology provides opportunity to have choices but Can Technology (here ICT) influence development? Digital inclusion is a concept about the disparities in terms of citizens’ participation in the Information Society. This participation may be conceptualised in the first instance as ICT access, levels of use and use patterns. On one hand we have technology which promises of New Dawn for the developing countries, on the other hand only access to technology will not provide development for poor millions of a developing …


Aspectos Jurídicos Do Embrião E O Princípio Da Dignidade Da Pessoa Humana, Carolina Altoé Velasco Jun 2007

Aspectos Jurídicos Do Embrião E O Princípio Da Dignidade Da Pessoa Humana, Carolina Altoé Velasco

Carolina Altoé Velasco

Desde os primórdios da civilização humana, sempre houve questionamento acerca do início da vida e debate quanto à natureza da pessoa. Com o decorrer dos anos e em detrimento da concretização da idéia de que toda pessoa humana é dotada de dignidade – considerada como qualidade intrínseca – firmou-se entendimento de que a pessoa não poderia ser objeto de todo e qualquer tipo de experimentação em nome do desenvolvimento e de pesquisas tecnológicas. É justamente nesse contexto que o presente artigo se desenvolve. São discutidos alguns casos, dentre eles, qual seria o questionamento mais adequado a se empregar no que …

Public Sector Intellectual Property Management In Life Sciences: Reconciling Practice And Policy, Antony Taubman, Roya Ghafele Mar 2007

Public Sector Intellectual Property Management In Life Sciences: Reconciling Practice And Policy, Antony Taubman, Roya Ghafele

Roya Ghafele

This chapter reviews the options for effective public sector management of intellectual property (IP) in the life sciences, focusing on the need for a judicious, pragmatic choice of options along two axes: (1) deployment of exclusive rights over technology and (2) use of market mechanisms to bring a new technology to the public. The essence of public sector IP management is finding the right settings along these two axes that will deliver tangible outcomes in line with defined public-interest objectives. Experience shows that ex ante assumptions about how to gain optimal leverage from exclusive rights, and the appropriate degree of …

La Vidéosurveillance Sous L'Angle De La Proportionnalité : Premières Réflexions Au Sujet De La Loi Réglant L'Installation Et L'Utilisation De Caméras De Surveillance, Franck Dumortier Jan 2007

La Vidéosurveillance Sous L'Angle De La Proportionnalité : Premières Réflexions Au Sujet De La Loi Réglant L'Installation Et L'Utilisation De Caméras De Surveillance, Franck Dumortier

Franck Dumortier

Les travaux parlementaires relatifs à la vidéosurveillance ont démarré en 2006 suite au constat selon lequel « l'utilisation de caméras de sécurité dans le domaine public et dans les lieux ouverts au public s'est fortement répandue ces dernières années » . Vu la prolifération de caméras de surveillance, la question s’est logiquement posée de savoir si le cadre légal applicable à celles-ci était satisfaisant pour garantir la vie privée des citoyens.

Dans ce contexte, le 31 mai 2006, quelques sénateurs ont pris l’initiative de soumettre une proposition de loi relative à l'installation et l'utilisation de caméras de surveillance, laquelle a …


The Nelsi Landscape, Michele L. Mekel, Nigel M. De S. Cameron Jan 2007

The Nelsi Landscape, Michele L. Mekel, Nigel M. De S. Cameron

Michele L Mekel

In the sci-fi world of Neal Stephenson's "The Diamond Age," the nanoscale science and technology challenges being grappled with at present had long been resolved and far surpassed. In this futuristic world, however, nano's ethical, legal, and social implications (NELSI) were still beleaguering humanity. His novel serves as a cautionary tale for today's "nanoethicists," science and technology studies (STS) scholars, nanoscale scientists and technologists, nanoentrepreneurs, nanoinvestors, policymakers, regulators, and society as a whole.

At this nascent stage of nanoscale science, technology, and engineering, there is still time to proactively and openly tackle NELSI in tandem with, or even one step …


Border Confidential: Why Searches Of Laptop Computers At The Border Should Require Reasonable Suspicion, John W. Nelson Jan 2007

Border Confidential: Why Searches Of Laptop Computers At The Border Should Require Reasonable Suspicion, John W. Nelson

John W. Nelson

Our laptops are capable of containing large amounts of personal, private, intimate, and confidential information. At the same time, the power of the government to search us and our possessions is at its zenith during a border crossing. How should our laptops be treated during these border crossings?

This Note examines the background of the border search exception and the privacy interests we each have in our laptop computers. This Note argues that searches of our laptop computers should be viewed as highly intrusive in nature because of the ability to quickly sort through vast amounts of intimate and private …

The Technology Of Surveillance: Will The Supreme Court's Expectations Ever Resemble Society's?, Stephen E. Henderson Dec 2006

The Technology Of Surveillance: Will The Supreme Court's Expectations Ever Resemble Society's?, Stephen E. Henderson

Stephen E Henderson

For law students studying criminal procedure—or at least for those cramming for the exam—it becomes a mantra: government conduct only implicates the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches if it invades a “reasonable expectation of privacy.” This is not the contemporary definition of the word “search,” nor was it the definition at the time of the founding. But, via a well-intentioned concurrence by Justice Harlan in the famous 1967 case of Katz v. United States, it became the Court’s definition.
This lack of fealty to the English language left some questions. For example, is determining whether someone has a “reasonable …


Beyond The (Current) Fourth Amendment: Protecting Third-Party Information, Third Parties, And The Rest Of Us Too, Stephen E. Henderson Dec 2006

Beyond The (Current) Fourth Amendment: Protecting Third-Party Information, Third Parties, And The Rest Of Us Too, Stephen E. Henderson

Stephen E Henderson

For at least thirty years the Supreme Court has adhered to its third-party doctrine in interpreting the Fourth Amendment, meaning that so far as a disclosing party is concerned, information in the hands of a third party receives no Fourth Amendment protection. The doctrine was controversial when adopted, has been the target of sustained criticism, and is the predominant reason that the Katz revolution has not been the revolution many hoped it would be. Some forty years after Katz the Court's search jurisprudence largely remains tied to property conceptions. As I have demonstrated elsewhere, however, the doctrine is not the …
