Emergence of Biolaw

This book introduces "e;biolaw"e; as an integrated and distinct field in contemporary legal studies. Corresponding to the legal dimension of bioethics, the term "e;biolaw"e; 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 "e;evolutionary"e; approach that opens the discussion on a future conciliation of legal regulation with the Theory of Evolution on the ground of biolaw.
