The choosen ethical problems connected with genetical malformations of fetus are very often discussed nowadays. This discussion is somehow connected with development of modern technologies in prenatal diagnostics. Is it ethically correct to admit termination of pregnancy if the fetus is genetically impaired. My diploma work deals with the views of parents whose children were born with malformations and also students of ZSF JCU. The main target of my work is to analyse views on prenatally diagnosed malformations of chosen group of respondents The theoretical part of ma work deals with the beginning of human life and prenatal malformations. I have noticed chosen ethical problems which are connected with prenatal malformations, prenatal diagnostics, termination of pregnancy and integration of disabled people in the society. The legal document are also mentioned. The practical part of my work deals with views of parents whose children were born with malformations and students of ZSF JCU. I apply the method of analytic research. The questionnaire survey is used. As respondent are chosen parents of disabled children and students of ZSF JCU because they can work with handicapped clients. Finally the statements are assessed and compared.

abstract: Treating the Pro-Life Movement as a monolithic entity creates a blind spot regarding the cognitive effect of the fetal personhood rhetorical framework. This study applies an interpretive lens, using legal and discourse analysis as tools, to provide a critical analysis of personhood laws and web content to shed light on how linguistic patterns construct, and are informed by, worldview. Examining variations in proposed Human Life Amendments—and asking how, or if, proposed bills achieve their specified aim—reveals tension in state and federal jurisdiction of abortion regulations. It also exposes conflicts concerning tactical preferences for attaining fetal personhood and ending abortion that are useful to differentiating the Pro-Life and Personhood Movements. Framing and discursive practices of the Personhood Movement reflect a ‘black and white’ mentality and an overly-simplified worldview. Movement cognition is shaped by patterns of omission and exclusion, inclusion, repetition, troubling phrases, and the power of labels. The linguistic choices demonstrate, constitute, and reinforce the dominant narratives of the movement and are integral to advocacy, praxis, and legislative efforts. While the struggle to pass personhood-compliant legislation has not been successful, the rhetorical practices and representational framework of the Personhood Movement have succeeded in altering the national discourse surrounding beginnings of life and abortion. The extreme views of the Personhood Movement reconstitute the middle—making tactics of the mainstream Pro-Life Movement seem moderate and reasonable by comparison, which allows dangerous legislation to slide by under the radar. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Social Justice and Human Rights 2018

As a substrate of Biolaw, human life will be the conductor element of the speech. After descant over some themes of developmental biology the attention will be diverted to the understanding of the Science of Law as much as Legal Dogmatic as Legal Systematics and then reap the principles that structure the Private Law. Knowing these principles, is the analysis of the discipline of BioLaw and legal situation of BioLaw in order to be able to identify who's your subject; to whom the law imputes rights. Dare, in this step, to match the phenomenology of biology with the institutes of law to identify as a subject of rights, i.e. who is positioned or conditioned by a legal situation of Biolaw, the man since fertilization. Way of consequence, adding to the legal personality to the embryo, from the moment of fertilization / Este estudo busca demonstrar várias possibilidades do conhecimento da vida e, mais especificamente, da vida humana sob seu aspecto biológico. Como substrato do biodireito a vida humana será o elemento condutor do discurso. Após discorrer sobre alguns temas da biologia do desenvolvimento a atenção será desviada para a compreensão da Ciência do Direito tanto como Dogmática como Sistemática Jurídicas para então colher os princípios que estruturam o Direito Privado. Conhecendo estes princípios, passa-se a análise da disciplina do biodireito e da situação jurídica de biodireito com o intuito de se poder identificar quem é o seu sujeito; a quem a ordem jurídica imputa os direitos subjetivos. Ousa-se, neste passo, fazer coincidir a fenomenologia da biologia com os institutos de direito para identificar como sujeito de direitos, ou seja, a quem se encontra posicionado ou condicionado por uma situação jurídica de biodireito, o homem desde a fecundação. Via de consequência, agregando-se a personalidade jurídica ao embrião, desde a fecundação

In this sense, it pursues the goal to establish, legally, what is life as a constitutional and legal interest worthy of protection, stating its definition and separating it by differentiation of those so called life related rights. These conceptual foundations are indispensable to the attainment of what is intended as a legal-axiological study of human life, which allows to recognize that, despite the imperatives derived from the principle of human dignity, the legal protection of human life realizes in different degrees of intensity and from arbitrary criteria in a way that allows the deduction that human life is considered more or less valuable in certain circumstances and, in some cases, one can even say that the biological life of the human being does not have any value at all. Identification of thecritical circumstances implying varying degrees of protection of life, as well as those authorizing the abandonment and denial of its value, constitutes the core of this thesis / A presente tese tem como objeto a análise do atual estado da tutela constitucional da vida humana e, a partir dessa premissa, precisar a dimensão axiológica da existência vital do ser humano. Nesse sentido, persegue-se a pretensão de determinar, juridicamente, o que é a vida como um bem jurídico constitucional e penalmente protegido, precisando sua definição e apartando-o, adequadamente, daqueles assim designadosdireitos concernentes à vida. Tais bases conceituais são indispensáveis para a realização do escopo desta tese, a saber, um estudo jurídicoaxiológico da vida humana, no qual se reconhece que, a despeito dos imperativos derivados do princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana, a proteção jurídica da existência vital do ser humano realiza-se em diferentes graus de intensidade e a partir de critérios arbitrários que permitem deduzir que a vida humana é considerada mais ou menos valiosa em determinadas circunstâncias, e que, noutros casos, podese mesmo dizer que a vida biológica do ser humano não possui valor qualquer. A identificação de circunstâncias críticas que implicam em graus variáveis de proteção da vida, bem como aquelas que autorizam o abandono e a negação de seu valor, constitui-se no cerne desta tese

Even though Sweden is considered a high trust society, research on this topic is primarily based on a few standardized survey questions. It is also known that there is a robust pattern of less trustful young people compared to older ones. Still, a satisfactory explanation of this fact is lacking. Thus, the first aim of this dissertation is to map trust among young adults and middle-aged individuals. The second aim is to examine by which factors and in what way different dimensions of trust are determined, focusing on individuals’ life course and consequently experiences. Analytical principles from the life course tradition are used as a theoretical framework. Data is derived from a Swedish cross-sectional nationally representative postal survey on trust, and qualitative interviews using a mixed-methods approach. A multi-dimensional concept of trust is suggested. Participants report relatively high levels of trust in known and unknown people, confidence in institutions, normative notions of trust, security, and trustful behaviour. Trust also seems to be structured according to a closeness principle. Young adults display lower trust levels in general. However, in some respects the pattern is reversed, particularly regarding domains they are expected to be more familiar with. Contrary to the well-established idea of generalised trust derived from predispositions and primary socialization, and particularised trust originating from experiences in adulthood, the results of this study suggest that unique combinations of factors, both individual characteristics and experiences, might explain each of the different dimensions. Often there is a sphere-specific relationship between experiences and later trust, i.e. experiences from one sphere of life seem to exclusively affect trust within the same sphere. It is suggested that as people grow older they accumulate what is called experience capital, which might benefit trust and contribute to an explanation of the age differences.

This present research aims to analyse the use of the concept of human life sacredness in political, legal, scientific and religious speeches during the course of the trial, thus aiming to identify how the concept is structured and how it was taken over by secular and religious discourses as the ADPF No. 54 unfolded. For that to be accomplished the analysis was performed of the overlapping elements involved, such as the issue of secularization and secularity (laicity), with their respective approaches to the status of religion in the public square, and how these relate with the crucial subject of human rights and the role of religion. Said analysis was followed by a survey of the formation and actualization of the idea of sacredness of the human life, and another analysis of the content on the material related to the mentioned ADPF: Judgment and transcripts of public hearings in which were promoted the discourses of interest to the present work. / O julgamento da Arguição de Descumprimento de Preceito Fundamental nº 54, suscitada pela Confederação Nacional dos Trabalhadores na Saúde, finalizado em 12/04/2012, que versou sobre a descriminalização da antecipação terapêutica do parto de fetos anencéfalos no Brasil, estabeleceu paradigma jurisprudencial para o tema e possibilitou debates nos quais estiveram presentes a temática relativa ao conceito de sacralidade da vida humana, dignidade humana ou valor intrínseco da vida humana. A pesquisa tem por objetivo analisar o uso do conceito de sacralidade da vida humana nos discursos políticos, jurídicos, científicos e religiosos havidos durante o desenrolar do julgamento, visando assim identificar como se estrutura o conceito e como foi apoderado pelos discursos laicos e religiosos quando do julgamento da ADPF n. 54. Para tanto se efetua a análise de elementos imbricados na questão, como a temática da secularização e da laicidade, com a respectiva abordagem da condição da religião em espaços públicos, e destas com o assunto crucial dos direitos humanos e o papel da religião. Seguindo para o levantamento da formação e concretização da ideia de sacralidade da vida humana, e análise do conteúdo do material relacionado ao mencionado julgamento: Acórdão e transcrições das audiências públicas nas quais foram promovidos os discursos que interessa averiguar.
