How does UK law on neurorights compare to protections granted in other parts of the world? Part 4 of Harry Lambert and Bradley John-Davis’s fascinating series on neurotechnology and the law looks at neurotech law abroad, suggests the UK may be lagging behind, and explains that Latin America is leading the way.
Lambert and John-Davis, both barristers at Crown Office Chambers, look at the pioneering work of, and ground-breaking neurorights case brought by, Chilean senator Guido Girardi Lavín.
Lambert, who is founder and head of the Centre for Neurotechnology & Law, and John-Davis write that Girardi argued he was at risk of ‘his anonymised brain activity data being reidentified’ and ‘his brain activity data being hacked or pirated’, among other concerns.RELATED ARTICLES
