The significance and timeliness of the work derives from the recent availability of CRISPR/ Cas9 and other gene editing tools, and from lacunae in international law regarding the legality of embryo modification with these tools and appropriate governance structures for the oversight of resulting practices. The emergence of improved genome editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9, holds the promise of eradicating genetic diseases in the near future. But its possible future applications with Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) raises a plethora of legal and ethical concerns about "remaking" future human beings. The work aims to address an urgent call, to embed these rising concerns about biomedical advancements into the fundamental tailoring of legal systems. Suitable regulatory approaches, coupled with careful reflection of global biomedical laws and individual constitutional systems must be explored. The Book analyzes the impact of reproductive biomedical technologies on the legal and ethical dimensions of regulatory frameworks in selected constitutional systems like the US, the UK, Australia, Malaysia and Thailand. Employing a comparative law methodology, the work reveals a dynamic intersection between legal cultures, socio-philosophical reasoning and the development of a human rights-based framework in bio-political studies. Navigating towards a truly internationalized biomedical approach to emerging technologies, it presents an understanding why a renegotiation and reinvigoration of a contemporary and "new" universal shared values system in the international human rights discourse is now necessary. 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aConflict of laws 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aBiomedical engineering 606 $aBioethics 606 $aReproductive health 606 $aHuman genetics 606 $aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R14002 606 $aHuman Rights$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R19020 606 $aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B24000 606 $aBioethics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E14010 606 $aReproductive Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H56002 606 $aHuman Genetics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B12008 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aConflict of laws. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aBiomedical engineering. 615 0$aBioethics. 615 0$aReproductive health. 615 0$aHuman genetics. 615 14$aPrivate International Law, International & Foreign Law, Comparative Law . 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aBiomedical Engineering/Biotechnology. 615 24$aBioethics. 615 24$aReproductive Medicine. 615 24$aHuman Genetics. 676 $a344.04196 676 $a344.041 700 $aLau$b Pin Lean$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0787341 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910349375903321 996 $aComparative Legal Frameworks for Pre-Implantation Embryonic Genetic Interventions$91754055 997 $aUNINA
