Abstract: With the advancement of molecular technologies, genetic research has made enormous progress over the last decade. To facilitate genetic research, the collection, integration and exploitation of data are prerequisite.

On the other hand, clinical research makes it necessary to disclose and exchange genetic data. In order ...

Sub-title: Hart Publishin

This is particularly true with regard to the role of the courts in the enforcement of such rights. Nolan's book remedies this omission, focusing on the circumstances in which the courts can and should give effect to the socio-economic rights of children. The arguments put forward are located within the context of, and develop, long-standing debates in constitutional law, democratic theory and human rights. The ...
