Desafíos normativos en materia de avances biomédicos: una relación necesaria entre la medicina, la ingeniería y el derecho en Colombia

Abstract

A fundamental requirement for experimentation in the biomedical field is that it be lawful, that is, that the object sought, the purpose of the action and the circumstances be consistent with human rights and the norm. Thus, the competence of the congress is to point out these preponderant axiological reflections and elaborate sanctionable norms to safeguard life, personal integrity, honor and dignity, and limit those extremes that may remain for free interpretation. So it is of vital importance the dialogue between legislative work with science to achieve the protection of human beings and their environment, as well as to encourage the development of scientific research, as long as it is beneficial for humanity.

In the meantime, some innovations have dabbled in the medical task, without legal regulation, which represents normative challenges in terms of the possibilities of undertaking new alternatives on the body, a situation that leads to the relationship between science and society not are fully regulated.

This research proposal is framed in a type of qualitative court, since the analysis of documentary information is intended, that is, constitutional, legal, jurisprudential and doctrinal, that provides information to develop the problem question that is posed as follows: How do biomedical advances represent a contemporary constitutional challenge in Colombia?
