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.

Comment faire échec aux trafics d'organes ? Peut-on choisir le sexe de son enfant ? Ou la couleur de ses yeux ? Le diagnostic préimplantatoire, est-ce déjà de l'eugénisme ? Les assureurs auront-ils accès aux résultats d'un test génétique ? toutes ces interrogations, et beaucoup d'autres, sont nées des progrès fulgurants de la biologie et de la médecine. Plus que jamais, ces sciences inspirent de grands espoirs mêlés d'une certaine crainte. Pour la première fois, un livre fournit sur ces questions un éclairage qui ne se limite pas au plan national. Dans un style journalistique clair et accessible, émaillé de nombreux exemples, les deux auteurs rendent compte de la mosaïque de réponses apportées dans chaque pays. Ils décrivent aussi les efforts d'harmonisation entrepris au conseil de l'europe, qui devraient aboutir à l'adoption prochaine d'une convention de bioéthique applicable à l'ensemble du continent européen.

Biological and medical research has led to remarkable progress in the field of human health. The rapid developments in this sphere have prompted the Council of Europe to consider the ethical and legal aspects of applications of genetics, particularly genetic testing, and to draw up legal rules to protect fundamental human rights with regard to these applications. The new Protocol sets down principles relating inter alia to the quality of genetic services, prior information and consent and genetic counselling. It lays down general rules on the conduct of genetic tests, and, for the first time at international level, deals with the directly accessible genetic tests for which a commercial offer could develop in future. It specifies the conditions in which tests may be carried out on persons not able to consent. Also covered are the protection of private life and the right to information collected through genetic testing. Finally, the Protocol touches on genetic screening.
