Bioethics between Jurisprudence and Legislation People or Judges – who decides on the values of a society? The "child as damage" ruling, legislative changes to egg and sperm donation, social egg freezing, and assisted suicide – politics is often played out through supreme courts in these and similar (bio-)ethical questions. How should we deal with the phenomenon of "socio-political advocacy" via court proceedings? Dr. Stephanie Merckens is a lawyer, theologian, former head of the Politics Department of the Institute for Marriage and Family of the Austrian Bishops' Conference, and a member of the Austrian Bioethics Commission.
