4th Course Advanced Training Programme Justice XXI – 2009
Paula Lobato de Faria (ENSP-UNL) This new advanced training course “Justice XXI”, aims to approach the thematic of Health Law, Biolaw and Bioethics. And this occurs at a time in which, increasingly, the ethic-judicial limits of science and technology are questioned and concernful dilemmas arise in what pertains to epidemic phenomenon at global scale. At the same time, come to court cases whose appreciation determines the indispensability of an unavoidable disciplinary crossing and of knowledges between, on one hand, sciences, medical practices, biotechnologies or health sciences in general, and, on the other hand, the practical and prudential knowledge of law, demonstrating the indispensability of this training initiative, that seeks to broaden the debate that has emerged, regarding these thematics, to the practical universe of law, debating, among others, the following issues: What solution may law find , in dialogue with sciences and other knowledges , regarding the problems that have come to light through our current political process, social but also ecological, natural and sanitarian? How to define the branch of law that is understood as receiver of the questionings and necessary normative action concerning science and biomedical techniques? What is the role granted to the jurist, law enforcer and courts in litigation and dilemma resolution that, by their density or heterogeneity put to the test the traditional judicial mechanisms? In a world ever more open to the circulation of people, capitals, information and communication, how to deal with the reinforced measures of epidemics control or how to qualify , on the other hand, the strategy of dislocation of scientific and technological research experiences of some of the more central countries to less regulatory countries in deontological and ethical terms? Other themes of the same degree of significance and contemporaneity will, also, set the tone of this programme, regarding the repercussions of the act of health care provision and conflicts of values and rights in borderline situations that emerge from the inevitable mysteries of life and death, of illness and suffering: Which judicial solutions may be found in cases that are situated in these frontiers and which juridical disciplines and institutes more fit to solve these dilemmas? Through which normative and regulative pathways have these problems been tried to be solved? Which is the degree of argumentation used, almost always pervaded by ethic and cultural and political sedimentation values, and what solutions may the compared experience give to us? These will be the themes that shall guide the course whose programme is here exposed, which represent in the current Spectrum, in which the Life Sciences gain daily and unavoidable notoriety, an altogether fundamental knowledge regarding a strict and sapient exercise on the part of the main actors of Justice.
