Description

This book, through the lens of interdisciplinary legal analysis, draws a subtle balance between bioethics and financial regulation, with the latter playing an unexpectedly crucial role in the way life may potentially be governed.

The legal topic of human preservation or cryoconservation was initially developed in the United States in the case of Donaldson v. van de Kamp. More recently, the subject arose in Europe as a result of a decision of the High Court, Family Division, London.

This new theme of cryoconservation has unfolded through multifaceted forms, including its impact on regulation.

In an area that may, at least prima facie, be regarded as belonging to the traditional realm of medical law, the findings presented here suggest that its potential has strong economic implications.

The work argues that it is necessary also to look at this subject from a more interdisciplinary perspective, drawing a fil rouge between two otherwise seemingly opposing areas of law: medical law and financial regulation.

The legal framework draws on the Anglo-American, and the United Kingdom in particular, along with civil law analysis from Italy.

The work will be of interest to researchers and academics in the areas of medical law, legal philosophy, financial law, property law and insurance law.
