• Sommario/riassunto: The Discourse of Biorights: European Perspectives, edited by José-Antonio Seoane and Oscar Vergara, explores the philosophical and legal foundations of biorights within the biomedical context. The book examines how biorights intersect with human rights, focusing on issues such as the right to life, health, privacy, and freedom of research. It provides a comprehensive analysis of European case law and legislation to assess the practical application of these rights. The book delves into various philosophical theories, including rights-based and capabilities approaches, to address health inequalities and social justice. It also discusses the implications of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, on human dignity and the potential need for new rights. Intended for scholars and practitioners in bioethics and law, the book aims to contribute to ongoing discussions in health justice and bioethics in Europe.
