The intense and polemical debate over the legality and morality of weapons systems to which human cognitive functions are delegated (up to and including the capacity to select targets and release weapons without further human intervention) addresses a phenomena which does not yet exist but which is widely claimed to be emergent. This groundbreaking collection combines contributions from roboticists, legal scholars, philosophers and sociologists of science in order to recast the debate in a manner that clarifies key areas and articulates questions for future research. The contributors develop insights with direct policy relevance, including who bears responsibility for autonomous weapons systems, whether they would violate fundamental ethical and legal norms, and how to regulate their development. It is essential reading for those concerned about this emerging phenomenon and its consequences for the future of humanity.

Das Buch arbeitet die zentralen Kriterien des Krankheitsbegriffs im Recht heraus. Die Beantwortung vieler rechtlicher Fragen im Bereich arztlichen Handelns ist abhangig von der Abgrenzung zwischen Heilung, Pravention und Enhancement und damit von der Unterscheidung zwischen Krankheit und Gesundheit.

Das Buch fuhrt Experten aus verschiedenen Rechtsbereichen zusammen, die Relevanz und Funktion des jeweiligen Krankheitsbegriffs vorstellen und auf dieser Basis Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten diskutieren. Beleuchtet werden die ethische, die oeffentlich-rechtliche, die strafrechtliche und die zivilrechtliche Perspektive.

Aufgrund der wachsenden Bedeutung des chilenischen Automobilmarktes und der besonderen Rolle als Testmarkt die ihm inne wohnt, werden in dieser empirischen Marktforschungsstudie Unterschiede zwischen chilenischen K ufern deutscher und japanischer Automobilmarken analysiert.

Die h chst interessanten und zum Teil berraschenden Ergebnisse verleihen der Studie dabei einen besonderen Charakter. Die nachgewiesene Existenz von Unterschieden k nnte als Ausgangspunkt f r weitere, beispielsweise marken-, produktmarkt- oder l ndermarktspezifische Analysen dienen.
