For the development of this multidisciplinary work, which has had the participation of 200 professionals from different disciplines in Spain, Latin America and Portugal, has enjoyed the support and collaboration Roche Institute.
"The work aims to become an international benchmark for information and solve practical questions in this area," said Dr. Carlos María Romeo Casabona, director of the work. "It is the shortage that existed in speaking of a work that might be reference and consultation for various experts to be faced in their daily controversies and doubts raised in the field of bioethics and law."
Members of the Inter-University Chair in Law and Human Genome constituted editorial board, have looked to identify the voices that should be incorporated into the Encyclopedia, deciding the scientific, ethical or legal, or several at once, which was to have each voice.
Finally, we have selected a total of 200 voices, more than thirty entries d reference to the voices which also develops the content of those.

Another axis that has to take into account in the future, says Del Barrio, will be where you start defining the rights of the individual and the community. "These are the challenges that are posed to us," stressed the general director of the Institute.

The book seeks to be an international benchmark for information and solve practical questions in this area, "said Professor Casabona.
