The Biomedicine Convention as an Object and a Stimulus for Comparative Research in the European Journal of Health Law

Abstract:

The European Association for Health Law has ambitious objectives. Two of them are “to encourage and facilitate co-operation among health lawyers throughout Europe” and “to encourage and support the development of health law in European and international relations”. Comparative legal research will be an important means to reach these objectives.

In this contribution the author takes a closer look at this Convention as an object but also as a stimulus for comparative research in health law. To this end relevant articles have been analyzed that have been published in this journal from its creation in 1994 until the end of 2007.
