The Emergence of BiolawThe European Experience and the Evolutionary Approach\nAuthor(s): Takis Vidalis\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031023613, 978-3031023613\nSynopsis\nThis 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.
