A two-edged sword - interaction between law and science

The main aim of the work is to discuss the interaction between science and law. Following fields of such interaction are discussed - legal practice, legislation and the correlation with human rights protection, as well as the interaction with criminal law. The main aim of part one is to dispute the need for law practitioners to gain knowledge of other sciences in order to be able to decide the cases dealing with complicated scientific issues. Part two is intends to show the means of interaction between legislators and science, mainly development of the science and the legal reaction to these developments. It is intended to show how law and science interact between themselves and how development of one field impacts the development of another. Part three discusses the interaction of biotechnologies and bioethics with the most important category of modern legal order - human rights and freedoms. Part four is dedicated to show the issues when biotechnologies developments can be considered as a subject for criminal law regulations.
