WHO OWNS THE HUMAN ORGAN? LAW AND BODILY AUTONOMY
October 15, 2026
Abstract
The article examines the legal, philosophical, and regulatory aspects concerning human organ ownership, bodily autonomy, and the commercialisation of organs.

Memory on Trial: Neuroscience, Eyewitness Evidence and the Reliability of Human Recollection
October 15, 2026
Abstract
The eyewitness has always held near-sacred authority in court. “I saw it with my own eyes” is treated as stronger proof than fingerprints or forensic reports. Yet four decades of cognitive neuroscience tell a different story: memory is not a recording that can be paused and replayed. It is reconstructed anew at every stage encoding, […]
