When discussing abortion of brainless fetuses and research with embryonic stem cells, topics that are currently in fashion, disagreements always fall on the same point: at what moment does life begin? The decision regarding the permission of both anencephalic abortion and embryonic research is in the hands of the Federal Supreme Court, but, for biolaw specialist Erickson Gavazza Marques , it is not up to the STF to decide where life begins. The task belongs to medicine. “The Constitution guarantees the right to life, but it does not say what life is or when it begins”, he says. In an interview with Consultor Jurídica , Marques defended the advances in biotechnology which, in his view, only tend to benefit humanity.
Marques criticizes the former Attorney General of the Republic Cláudio Fonteles who wants provisions of the Biosafety Law that allow studies with embryonic stem cells and the production of transgenics to be considered unconstitutional. For him, it is not up to an official representative of the nation to try to impose a religious aspect on issues that concern the entire Brazilian community. This is Belize Email List valid, at least, when it comes to a country that, in theory, claims to be secular. Erickson Gavazza Marques is 43 years old and has a degree in Law from Mackenzie University, with a master's degree from Université de Paris II. He is currently pursuing a PhD in Biotechnology at the Institute of Medical Sciences of the University of São Paulo.
In addition to being a partner at Demarest & Almeida Advogados, he is president of the Bioethics, Biolaw and Biotechnology Commission of the São Paulo section of the OAB — Brazilian Bar Association. He is also part of the SBPC — Brazilian Society for the Progress of Science, the IIIC — Inter-American Institute of Copyright, the board of the São Paulo Arbitration Chamber and the Environmental Law Commission of the Federal OAB. In the interview, the lawyer spoke about controversial issues such as the abortion of anencephalic fetuses, stem cell research and the production and trade of transgenic foods. Journalists Aline Pinheiro, Leonardo Fuhrmann, Maria Fernanda Erdelyi and Maurício Cardoso participated in the interview.
