Zusatztext This is an excellent collection that provides a rich overview of the ways in which European law shapes, and is shaped by, new health technologies and, arguably, offers a first step towards the constitution of the European Law of new health technologies as an emerging field of inquiry. Bringing together a vast range of technological developments, of disciplinary insights, and of conceptual questions, this will become a key resource for any scholar seeking to explore the relationship between health technologies and European law and policy, but also for those more broadly interested in the interface between law and technoscience.
