The topic will analyse the legal and bioethical status of the human embryo, the creation, storage, use and destruction of embryos in the context of medical fertilisation and biomedical research. The legal models of surrogacy, the determination of the origin of the child, the rights and obligations of the persons involved, as well as the challenges of surrogacy across borders in terms of human rights and private international law will be discussed.

The topic will analyze the legal and bioethical aspects of not starting and stopping life-sustaining therapy. Students will evaluate patient autonomy, refusal of treatment, principles of medical usefulness and proportionality, professional responsibility of medical practitioners, decision-making in situations where the patient is unable to express his or her will, as well as the distinction between these decisions and euthanasia and assisted suicide.

Students will analyse the concept of biohacking and the modification of human biological capabilities outside the traditional framework of medical treatment and scientific research. Legal and bioethical aspects of self-experimentation, implantable technologies, genetic modification, and other biohacking practices will be examined, with a focus on personal autonomy, bodily integrity, safety, informed consent, and legal liability.

Students will analyse the idea of transhumanism and the use of biomedicine and technology to transform and expand human physical, cognitive and biological capacities. The issues of human dignity, identity, autonomy, equality and discrimination will be evaluated, as well as the challenges of the legal system in determining the permissible limits of human and technology integration.

Students will be introduced to the latest developments in biomedicine, with a focus on digital twins and precision or personalized medicine. The issues raised by these technologies regarding the use of health and genetic data, informed consent, algorithmic decision-making, risks of discrimination, professional liability, and the protection of patients' rights will be analyzed.

The topic will analyze the use of health and genetic data in the digital environment, with a focus on the European Health Data Space (EHDS). Students will evaluate the legal framework for primary and secondary use of health data, the use of data in scientific research, innovation and policy-making, as well as issues of personal privacy, data protection and control over their health data.

The topic will analyze the use of artificial intelligence and other innovative technologies in medicine and biomedicine. Students will evaluate the use of artificial intelligence in diagnostics, treatment decision-making, and research, addressing issues of algorithmic bias, transparency, human oversight, informed consent, data protection, and legal liability.
