The first IVF baby was born in the 1970s. Less than 20 years later,
we had cloning and GM food, and information and communication
technologies had transformed everyday life. In 2000, the human
genome was sequenced. More recently, there has been much discussion
of the economic and social benefits of nanotechnology, and
synthetic biology has also been generating controversy.
This important volume is a timely contribution to increasing calls
for regulation - or better regulation - of these and other new
technologies. Drawing on an international team of legal scholars,
it reviews and develops the role of human rights in the regulation
of new technologies. Three controversies at the intersection
between human rights and new technology are given particular
attention. First, how the expansive application of human rights
could contribute to the creation of a brave new world of choice,
where human dignity is fundamentally compromised; second, how new
technologies, and our regulatory responses to them, could be a
threat to human rights; and, third, how human rights could be used
to create better regulation of these technologies.
