The Health Law is the only branch of law...

...that literally affects our lives.

Health Industry + Pharmaceutical Industry + Biotechnology

Create a huge colos...
6
...that has to be regulated!

What we are talking about: (AN EXAMPLE)
19
Abortion Law:
20
Vary widely by country
21
Supporters and opponents of legal abortion...
22
...believe their position addresses a fundamental human right.
23
Beginning and ending of human life:
24
When does and embryo become a human?
25
Till when is it possible for a woman to have an abortion?
26
Under what conditions is a doctor allowed not to provide me with health care if this is my will?
27
When and how does life end?
28
...and what consequences does death take with itself?
29
Medical Record:
30
...a systematic documenatation of a patient´s medical history and care.
31
AND an intensely personal document!
32
There are many ethnical and legal issues surrounding medical records.
33
Such as:
34
The degree of a third-party access and appropriate storage and disposal.
35
Traditionally, medical records have been written on paper and kept in folders.
36
Nowadays electronic medical records have been introduced.
37
This has not only increased accessibility of files.
38
BUT
39
the outsourcing and storage has the potential to violate patient-doctor confidentiality by...
40
...possibly allowing unaccountable persons access to patient data.
41
Informed Consent:
42
THE fundamental term in a patient-doctor relation.
43
In case, where an individual is provided insufficient information...
44
...to form a reasonable decision,
45
serious ethnical issues arise!
46
Medical Research:
47
The increased longevity of humans over the past century
48
can be significantly attributed to advances resulting from medical research.
49
Reproductive Rights:
50
Issues related to reproductive rights are some of the most vigorously contested rights' issues worldwide,
51
regardless of the population's socioeconomic level, religion or culture.
52
Reproductive Rights may include:
53
1. the right to legal and safe abortion
54
2. the right to birth control
55
3. the right to access reproductive healthcare
56
4. the right to make choises...
57
...free from coercion, discrimination and violence.
58
BUT
59
The reproductive technology itself opens a wide field for discussion.
60
*Beginning with Artificial Insemination...
61
*Embryo Transfer
62
* Fertility Medication
63
* Hormone Treatment
64
* In Vitro Fertilisation
65
* the preservation of sperm, oocytes and embryos
66
* the Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)
67
and
68
* surrogacy
69
to finally
70
maybe the most interessting
71
and threatening topic of all:
72
*Cloning
73
These are problematic questions of ethics,
74
morale,
75
biology
76
and
77
LAW all together.
78
And still developing!!!
