Abstract

The bioethical issue is one of the concerns on genetically modified (GM) crops. One of the features to acknowledge this bioethical issue is through public participation. Through public participation, any concerns relating to the application and the release of GM crops could be integrated in the biosafety decision making process. The role of public participation is essential as it is a foundation of responsible democratic governance. It advocates public consultations by creating opportunities for transparency, informed and representative decision-making processes. This paper appraises the provision on public participation in the Malaysian Biosafety Act 2007 as to the extent to which bioethical issues could be integrated in the biosafety decision making process. The paper also proposes suggestions on good governance of public participation based on the relevant international legal agreements so that it is properly enforced and serves the desired objective of Biosafety Act 2007.

Abstract

As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic rapidly sweeps the world, it induces a considerable degree of fear, worry and concern in the population at large, despite the measures taken to contain the spread of the disease through quarantine. Health care providers, the elderly and individuals with underlying health conditions are the most vulnerable to the disease. Nations, even those with advanced resources of medical science, have underestimated the perils of the pandemic. Efforts are focused on understanding the epidemiology, clinical features, transmission patterns and management of the coronavirus disease. One aspect often overlooked, however, is the mental health crisis underpinning the effects of self-isolation/quarantine and the deaths of loved ones, a crisis which becomes increasingly urgent as the number of positive cases in Malaysia grows exponentially each day. With strict preventive measures and restrictions enacted by the Malaysian Government in the form of the nationwide Movement Control Order, the citizens are experiencing a range of psychological and emotional reactions, including the fear and uncertainty of being one of the infected. Many studies have been conducted to identify the state of mental health of vulnerable individuals during this calamity. This raises both ethical concerns and legal issues with regard to the rights of individuals enduring mental illness. This paper explores the ethical issues involved in the research on mental health during the COVID-19 pandemic and the regulatory mechanisms which protect the rights of the persons who have symptoms of mental illness.

Abstract

Eco-anxiety' as a concept is relatively new and has received media attention recently, even though the feeling has probably existed for some time. People who are depressed and lose control when thinking about the impact of human activity on the planet, such as climate change. Climate change is an actual dimension into their mental-health problems, which is not medically recognised or defined. This is normative legal research. The data were consolidated and examined using the legal norm method, which uses qualitative legal analysis, logic, and argumentation. This paper reviewed the literature on eco-anxiety and its legal implications. Environmental and health law continues to be separate bodies of international law, even though the right to health is intertwined with the right to a healthy environment. A right to a clean and healthy environment should explicitly include the right to health-physically and mentally. Priority should be given to greening public health infrastructure, such as mental health facilities, as part of eco-anxiety recovery plans to support the emergence of the environmental impact on mental health and the country's mental health promotion and prevention efforts to serve their needs better.
