Debatendo a Procriação Medicamente Assistida

Leading Researcher: Luísa Neto e Rute Teixeira Pedro

It is obvious that, as a form of social regulation, the Law has never been so harassed by an open conception of the human, nor so permeable to public opinion, this line aims to critically address the issues that changes in social life bring to regulation of legal science as a paradigm of coexistence founded on the dignity of the human person, v.g. in the areas of privacy, “bio-rights”, cultural accommodation.

2. Vulnerability and diversity: fundamental rights in context

Leading Researcher: Luísa Neto / Anabela Costa Leão

If the Law has a clear mission of conformation of social life and human behaviour, it is important to not perch in shameless ivory tower. If the coercive power of Law assumes as accepted the authority of the legislator, this cannot be a closed process. The choice of the themes resulted from observing that, as a form of social regulation, never has the Law been so harassed by an open design of the human, not as permeable to the public opinion. Thus, this project focuses on bio law topics, privacy and cultural accommodation and aims to reflect on fundamental rights in a context of diversity.

Leading Researcher: José Neves Cruz

An increasingly large body of literature shows that taxpayers’ perception of tax authorities is an important factor in tax evasion. It is therefore necessary to examine how tax authorities are perceived by the Portuguese taxpayers in order to design the best policies to tackle tax evasion.
