Law and Ethics on Human Life : Neutral Approach vs. Personalist Approach

This article explains the passage from bioethics to biolaw. The author investigates the relationship between moral pluralism and biolaw, outlining the models and theories stemming from the theoretical debate, which precedes and lays the foundations for bio-legislation and bio-jurisprudence. The different models of biolaw, such as the libertarian, the liberal, and the utilitarian model, are critically described, placing a particular emphasis on their neutral common perspective within the context of ethical pluralism. The personalist model of biolaw based on the recognition of human dignity in the human rights perspective is presented as opposed to the neutral perspective.
