The Emergence of Biolaw Summary

The Emergence of Biolaw: The European Experience and the Evolutionary Approach by Takis Vidalis

This book introduces biolaw as an integrated and distinct field in contemporary legal studies. Corresponding to the legal dimension of bioethics, the term biolaw is already in use in academic and research activities to denote legal issues emerging mostly from advanced technological applications. This book is a genuine attempt to rationalize the field of biolaw after almost four decades of continuous production of relevant legislation and judgments worldwide. This experience is a robust basis for defending a) a separate legal object, covering the total of legal norms that govern the management of life as a natural phenomenon in all its possible forms, and b) an evolutionary approach that opens the discussion on a future conciliation of legal regulation with the Theory of Evolution on the ground of biolaw.
