When facial recognition does not ‘recognise’: Erroneous identifications and resulting liabilities
Facial recognition is an artificial intelligence-based technology that, like many other forms of artificial intelligence, suffers from an accuracy deficit. This paper focuses on one particular use of facial recognition, namely identification, both as authentication and as recognition. Despite technological advances, facial recognition technology can still produce erroneous identifications. This paper addresses algorithmic identification failures …
Homo chimaera after homo sapiens: The legal status of human–non-human chimaeras with human brain cells
Health, privacy and liberty: A call for digital governance during (and after) the pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has boosted the development and use of technology by increasing the use of previously existing technological resources, such as maps identifying population movements; assigning new uses to previously existing technological mechanisms, such as the use of facial recognition for monitoring infected people; and encouraging the development of new technologies, such as apps that ascribe risk codes to citizens. Without these digita…
Fertilidade rima com idade? (enquadramento ético-legal da criopreservação de ovócitos como método de preservação da fertilidade feminina)
No mundo moderno as mulheres têm adiado progressivamente o nascimento do primeiro filho, atraídas pelas inúmeras possibilidades que a vida laboral lhes abriu nas últimas décadas. No entanto, a evolução no estatuto legal e profissional das mulheres não foi acompanhada por uma concomitante evolução no desempenho reprodutivo do corpo feminino. Por conseguinte, não é incomum as mulheres descobrirem que é simplesmente tarde demais para engravidar. Par…

A European proposal to regulate off-label prescription in China
Can China’s ‘standard of care’ for Covid-19 be replicated in Europe
The Director-General of the WHO has suggested that China’s approach to the COVID-19 crisis could be the standard of care for global epidemics. However, as remarkable as the Chinese strategy might be, it cannot be replicated in other countries and certainly not in Europe. In Europe, there is a distribution of power between the European Union and its member states. In contrast, China’s political power is concentrated in the central government. This…
An ethical evaluation of the legal status of foetuses and embryos under Chinese law
Under Chinese law, the juridical status of the embryo and the foetus is unclear, mainly because the existing legislation can be subject to diverse interpretations due to its ambiguous language. Lack of clarity with the law has led to different understandings amongst Chinese legal scholars. However, although there has been no consensus, there has been a clear tendency to deprive embryos and foetuses of legal status or personhood, thereby excluding…
The convention of human rights and biomedicine revisited: Critical assessment
The European Convention of Human Rights and Biomedicine is the first binding international document that provides a general juridical and ethical framework on medicine and scientific investigation. In this sense, it represents a major effort from the Council of Europe member states, which has proved to be a daunting task to achieve. Nevertheless, this convention leaves many empty spaces and gives rise to some discrepancies. Probably it could not …
A insustentável leveza da culpa: A Compensação De Danos No Exercício Da Medicina
Diante das crescentes dificuldades apresentadas pela responsabilidade civil para lidar com a má -prática médica e com a compensação aos pacien tes, muitos advogam a implementação do sistema no-fault , isto é, um mecanismo no qual o paciente é compensado por via de um fundo económico de socialização do risco, independentemente da de monstração de negligência por parte do médico. Neste estudo comparámos as principais notas do modelo no-fault com o …
