Sažetak
This paper investigates how biomedical advances are addressed in legislation. In keeping with the latest biomedical advances, legislatures need to redefine and reframe established legal categories, (e.g. of kinship categories). Although the legislature and drafters not only rely on scientific, biomedical inputs, but also borrow scientific termi- nology, they nevertheless frame it according to their objectives and needs. However, to what extent do drafters, by defining and regulating new and sensitive areas of human life, impose a certain conceptualization, which in turn may impact the broader per- ception and set the course for jurisprudence? Since, departing from critical discourse analysis, language is never neutral, the linguistic choices in biomedically relevant legal discourse also carry with them ideological implications (Garzone 2018).
