| Summary: |
Genetic technology is recent in human history and its scopes and consequences cannot be foreseen either with certainty
or scientific evidence. However, current human ability to do practically everything through biomedical experimentation
raises a huge responsibility in legal terms: to identify new kinds of harms in reparation (for instance, genetic harm), which
were never recognized by traditional positive law since when this was conceived, genetic techniques did not exist. This
paper defines genetic harm as a new category of harm integrated into the intangible reparative item of health harm (with
the purpose of including it into the Colombian legal order), points out key doctrinarian elements for it to be understood,
and explores its epistemological and methodological relationships to biolaw, whose doctrine has been recently created
at Georgetown University by one of this paper�s authors. |
