the Protection of Human Rights

The Oviedo Convention, also known as the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Dignity of the Human Being with regard to the Application of Biology and Medicine, is a crucial legal instrument in regulating bioethical issues. While not binding across all EU member states, it establishes ethical principles for biomedical research and medical practices. Article 5 of the Convention outlines the necessity of informed consent in medical interventions, stating that any procedure related to health may only be carried out after the person has been informed and has provided free and informed consent. Article 13 of the Convention prohibits genetic modifications aimed at altering the genome of descendants, thereby setting ethical boundaries on genetic biohacking practices that could affect future generations. สล็อตเว็บตรง
