El trabajo es, consustancialmente con su propio concepto, una actividad peligrosa. De ahí que el artículo 40.2 de la CE mandate a los poderes públicos para que velen por la seguridad e higiene en el trabajo (hoy nos referimos al concepto de seguridad y salud). Podemos definirlo como un proceso de produccion y transformacion de bienes y servicios. Con caracter general, se da en el trabajo una interaccion entre el hombre y el entorno, negativa para la salud. El riesgo profesional o laboral esta enmarcado, en la actualidad, por tres notas caracteristicas: ? Responde a una sofisticacion creciente de la actividad laboral, derivada de la evolucion tecnologica y social. ? La interaccion mencionada del trabajador y su entorno se produce desde la dependencia. Debemos tener en cuenta que el empresario detenta el poder de direccion sobre la prestacion laboral. El trabajador esta sujeto al circulo organicista y rector del empresario o, como dice el articulo 1.1 de la Ley del Estatuto de los Trabajadores (LET), a su ambito de organizacion y direccion. ? El entorno laboral contiene con frecuencia elementos con capacidad intrinseca para producir daño.

El bioderecho es el ámbito del derecho que regula la aplicación al ser humano de las posibilidades que ofrece la medicina y la biotecnología y que contiene los principios y normas jurídicas sobre el nacimiento, el desarrollo y el fin de la vida humana. Esta obra aborda la interpretacion constitucional de los bioderechos teniendo en cuenta el canon tradicional de interpretacion, su compleja apertura internacional y el margen de apreciacion de los Estados. Analiza la doctrina academica y la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Constitucional Federal Aleman sobre la dignidad humana y el derecho a la vida, abordando las principales cuestiones que suscitan hoy en dia los bioderechos como el estatuto juridico del embrion, el diagnostico preimplantacional, la investigacion con embriones y la clonacion. Esta obra estudia el itinerario juridico del aborto en Alemania, donde se ha producido un dialogo entre el legislador y el Tribunal Constitucional Federal Aleman. Finalmente analiza las implicaciones constitucionales de la eutanasia y la Ley alemana, de 3 de diciembre de 2015, de punibilidad de la promocion recurrente del suicidio y su compleja interpretacion. El libro plantea los bioderechos como un limite a la biopolitica -al ejercicio del poder sobre la vida humana- y a la tecnologia biomedica para garantizar la proteccion de la dignidad humana.
