| Sumario: | The era of the Anthropocene poses unprecedented challenges and affects human health, concerning above all socially and economically vulnerable groups. This study suggests a human rights-based approach and assesses the solutions adopted in the framework of the European Union and of the Council of Europe for ensuring a better and more equitable access to healthcare, by also taking into consideration the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice of the European Union and of the European Court of Human Rights. From this perspective, some human rights-based solutions are advanced in light of the opportunities offered by biotechnology, pharmacogenetics of pharmacogenomics, gene therapy and regenerative medicine in a reality where transhumanism, as a result of the application of the advanced scientific achievements, is no longer a remote possibility. |
