Abstract Convergence of emerging technologies (e.g. biotechnologies, information and cognitive technologies) has opened new perspectives for progress with regard to human health. However, these technologies also open new possibilities for interventions on human beings, which may be more invasive, and possibly affect and modify individuals. Established practices in the field of biomedicine are also evolving in a way that exerts pressure on existing protective mechanisms. Thus, consideration is required as to whether existing human rights provisions are still fit for purpose or whether there is a need to re-examine, clarify or re-enforce them or even a need to identify new human rights and protective measures. This article gives an overview of the main issues considered by the Committee on Bioethics of the Council of Europe to develop a Strategic Action Plan aimed at ensuring appropriate protection of human rights in the developments in biomedicine, promoting thereby progress for human health.

Life Itself

Major risks to human health and life are, indeed, as old as life itself. Whether we think of epidemics, hunger and malnutrition, famines, wars, violations of human rights, crime, natural disasters and swarms of other dangers, we cannot but be struck by their pantemporality and ubiquitousness. Acute or chronic, periodic or sporadic, frequent or infrequent, these and other hazards are endemic to the very condition of human existence —unwanted but nonetheless real consequences of being alive and of being social.It is indeed quite plausible to view some of the central strands and trajectories of human history as efforts to cope with the hazardous conditions of existence: to prevent risks from actualizing, or to mitigate the consequences of hazards which do actualize—those which we have not yet as developed the capability to prevent, and those which we cannot hope to prevent.

The Subject

The article undertakes constructive reflection on the loss of human health in the context of the issue of disability, with an indication that it is a state of mind rather than actual, physical impotence. The main subject of considerations is the attitude of the writer, Michał Kaziów, perceived as a way to independence and creativity developed as a result of his health condition in the light of selected issues of narrative medicine and human rights. The paper presents the difficult fate of Kaziów after a permanent loss of fitness (L. Kowalewski, M. Czerwińska) under the model of social disability (P. Hunt, M. Oliver) and an autobiographical attitude (M. Czermińska). The views of R. Charon (a doctor and a literary scholar) and her co-workers were also taken into account, according to which narrative medicine is a specific, well thought and described in the literature on the subject form of clinical (and didactic) practice that supports the process of diagnosis and treatment. Simultaneously, a review of laws and regulations on the creation of legal norms that supported people with disabilities and their evolution was undertaken. The whole text correlates with the thesis that the change in approach to disability is a living testimony to overcoming difficulties and their consequences, both in an individual and collective experience.

The Right

The article analyzes the norms of international and national legislation regulating the procedure for re-stricting the right of a person (a citizen of the Russian Federation and a foreign citizen) to freedom of movement and the grounds for such restriction. It is concluded that the restriction of human rights to freedom of movement is a consequence of the protection of the highest human value «the right to protect human health». Based on the study of legal acts of constituent entities of the Russian Federation with different names, such as «the emergency», «On the restriction of the right to freedom of movement and the introduction of high alert» and so on, taken to prevent the spread of coronavirus infection (2019-nCoV), the author points out the shortcomings of the highest officials of subjects of the Russian Federation in the preparation and adoption of legal acts, which restricted the right of citizens to freedom of movement on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The Impact

Adulteration of foods has become a national issue. The problem is not only ignoring the human rights for safer food but also endangering public health seriously with numerous acute and chronic diseases. Our future generation will be seriously affected with vulnerable physical and mental growth inflicted by food adulteration. This paper describes the impact of consumption of adulterated foods on human health and the roles of the concerned authorities to eradicate it. The key objective of this paper is not to blame or undermine anyone. We intend to inform the current scenario of food adulteration and wish to bring a positive change through proper measures by the concerned regulatory authorities.Bangladesh Pharmaceutical Journal 18(1): 1-7, 2015
