Università Roma Tre

The course aims to offer students an in-depth look at the international ethical debate on the legal regulation of medical research and practice facing scientific and biotechnological innovation challenges. The focus of the course will be the analysis of a selection of issues and problems (experimentation on human beings, reproductive technologies, genetic counseling and gene-editing, human enhancement) that lead to a critical reconsideration of the traditional way of understanding health in the direction of a new medicine ("beyond therapy") and the demand for the recognition of new rights related to it.
