Civil Law Regulation of Human Biomechanical Changes in Modern Technological Progress

Abstract

This article examines the growing field of human biomechanical enhancements, focusing on the technologies, potential impacts, and civil law regulations that govern their development and use. With rapid advancements in biomechanical enhancement technologies, individuals and society are faced with a range of benefits and risks that demand careful consideration and regulation. The article delves into various types of biomechanical enhancements, discussing their potential implications for human performance, health, and ethical concerns. The study also investigates existing national and international civil law frameworks, such as the United States' FDA regulations and the EU's Medical Devices Regulation (MDR), comparing regulatory approaches across different jurisdictions. It assesses the effectiveness of these frameworks in addressing the challenges posed by human biomechanical enhancements and highlights the ethical, social, and legal challenges involved in regulating these technologies. The article analyzes the effectiveness of current civil law regulations and discusses the challenges faced in implementing and enforcing these frameworks. Potential improvements and recommendations for enhancing the effectiveness of civil law regulation in relation to human biomechanical enhancements are proposed, considering the rapid pace of technological advancement. The article concludes by summarizing the key findings, emphasizing the importance of effective civil law regulation in addressing the implications of human biomechanical enhancements. It also suggests future research directions that could further explore this topic and contribute to the ongoing debate on civil law regulation of human biomechanical enhancements in the age of technological progress.
