Know about the book -

Law and Bioethics: the Beginning of Life in China is written by Simona Novaretti and published by BRILL. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 900475430X (ISBN 10) and 9789004754300 (ISBN 13).

This book addresses the lack of knowledge surrounding the relationship between law and bioethics in China by investigating the ethical principles, legal norms and case law pertaining to biotechnologies related to the formation and birth of a human being from both diachronic and synchronic perspectives. The assumption is that understanding this relationship in a context that is traditionally perceived as 'distant' and 'different' from Europe and North America can facilitate a more profound comprehension of the dynamics and principles traditionally employed by Western legal systems to interpret and regulate these phenomena. This, in turn, is expected to encourage transnational dialogue and cooperation in solving universal problems.
