LSTS – VUBrussels LSTS is devoted to analytical, theoretical and prospective research into the relationships between law, science, technology and society. Even if LSTS's core expertise is legal, we also have a strong experience and track record in legal theory, philosophy of sciences and bio-ethics, and we engage in criminological and STS-research too.

First thoughts • Dignity WP1- liberty and autonomy WP2. Liberty as autonomy v. dignity as paternalistic. • Liberty it is also the power-faculty to say no to inclusion • Concept of reasonable accommodation, overlap with non discrimination (WP1 & WP3) • Case law on privacy and DP, it is FRONTIDA or VUB ? • Other core liberty issues: elder abuse & liberty and autonomy in dementing disorders
Autonomy - Article 1 of the ICESCR and of the ICCPR (emphasis on self- determination and peoples) - Right to autonomy. Elderly people have the right to autonomy, and the freedom to make their own decisions. (Chung report, 2010) • They also have the right to social, legal, and medical services that respect and enhance their autonomy. To this end, they have the right to autonomy in decisions about their use of social, legal, and medical services, including decisions about end-of-life care. • Older persons, for example, have the right to make their own decisions about starting, continuing, or terminating medical treatment;
