In this virtual issue from Journal of Law and the Biosciences, we present 17 informative articles, published in 2017-2019, hand-picked by the journal’s three Editors-in-Chief: Nita Farahany from Duke University, Hank Greely from Stanford University, and Glenn Cohen from Harvard Law School.
This specially curated article collection examines a range of matters focusing on the intersection of law and the biosciences, including whether a complete ban on surrogacy is compatible with the American Convention on Human Rights, what role should law play when genetic privacy is concerned, or what opportunities and challenges there are for forensic psychiatry regarding brain-based mind reading.
In selecting articles for this virtual issue, the Editorial Board aims to emphasize the high-quality studies published in Journal of Law and the Biosciences and hopes these will stimulate further research in this new important field.
