Bioderecho, ‘dilema del doble uso’ y libertad de la investigación científica

Contenido principal del artículo

Ilaria Anna Colussi

Resumen

Este artículo tiene como objetivo explorar legalmente el dilema del doble uso, referido a dos áreas: una, que es más 'tradicional: es el campo de la ciencia y tecnología nuclear, y la otra, que es una nueva área emergente, es la biología sintética. Una conclusión importante será que la libertad de investigación científica, que es fundamental en este contexto, debe protegerse, pero al mismo tiempo los demás derechos y libertades en juego no pueden "suprimirse" ni "sacrificarse".
