Encuadernación

The application of entena that prioritize mercantile relations, not just for the economy but for society as a whole, delivers up areas that were previously cost-free and reserved for solidarity among people to the tyranny of the market. This ¡s the case with the human body. In this book, with a bioethical approach and from different perspectives, we attempt to unravel how ¡t is possible for the principies of globaljusti.ee and respect for rights to be continually declared valid, yet all the while the commercialization of the human body, its parts and its components is increasingly accepted.

Our analysis forms part of the work done since 1995 by the Bioethics and Law Observatory, a secular, interdisciplinary teaching and research centre belonging to the University of Barcelona. This work ¡neludes the analysis of the ethical, legal and social implications of biotechnologies, and the coordination of different international networks. The director of the Observatory, Dr María Casado, has coordinated the book.
