Rosario Isasi is a health and human rights attorney, whose research and work focuses on the regulation of human genetic technologies.
Isasi holds a J.D. from the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (1992) and a Master of Public Health from Boston University School of Public Health (2002). She is a notable bioconservative, and along with health law professor George Annas and technology law professor Lori Andrews, an advocate of the position that the use of genetic enhancement technologies could lead to human-posthuman conflict and new forms of genocide. They are co-authors of a leading paper that calls for international regulation of human genetic modification, including a United Nations convention. This paper has since provided the basis for a chapter of Annas's 2005 book American Bioethics, with attribution (Annas p. 215).
Isasi is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre de Recherche en Droit Public, at the Université de Montréal, and an affiliated scholar with the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future. She has particular expertise in the area of comparative legal and ethical research regarding cloning and stem cell research. She is the Academic Secretary of the International Stem Cell Forum Ethics Working Party, an affiliated scholar of the Center for Genetics and Society in Oakland, California and the Institute on Biotechnology and the Human Future, Chicago-Kent College of Law, in Chicago, Illinois. She is also a member of the Advisory Board of Global Lawyers and Physicians, a transnational professional association of lawyers and physicians working together to promote human rights and health.
