LOPEZ BARONI, Manuel Jesús. The Three Europes at the genomic crossroad. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.47, pp.77-92.  Epub 16-Dez-2019. ISSN 1886-5887.

The recent acceleration of research in genetic engineering has placed Europe in an aporia of difficult solution. On the one hand, it is in the midst of two contending blocs, China and the United States, which in their struggle for world primacy have reissued the Cold War, only with biotechnology as a mechanism of domination. On the other, Europe is institutionally divided into three overlapping entities, the Council of Europe, the European Union and the European Patent Office, with notable differences in terms of democratic legitimacy and normative effectiveness. So, we do not want to give up certain values, even if it means not being able to keep pace with China or the United States; but if we do not, we run the risk of being the object of a form of colonialism very different from that we have observed in previous centuries.
