The Bioethics and Law Observatory (OBD) looks at technical and scientific issues which motivate public debate by publishing documents that set forth contrasting opinions expressed by the OBD group and guest experts. The resulting state-of-the-art report and concrete proposals are published in brief standardised format in the media, for public interest and public policies.
After each document is published, it is widely distributed in the scientific and professional community and to the parliamentary groups. Public presentations and press conferences are also held.
All documents are free in PDF format and available in Catalan, Spanish and English: http://www.publicacions.ub.edu/refs/observatoriBioEticaDret/documents.aspx.
