National Council of Bioethics
The National Council of Bioethics was proposed by law in 2010 as an entity to advise the National Government on the formulation, articulation and resolution of the dilemmas posed by research on life, health and the environment, as well as in the construction and implementation of policies on matters relating to bioethics. However, the regulation of the law that created it has not yet been carried out, so the Council remains inoperative, with no indications for the election of its members. Given this situation, civil society and academics have initiated actions to advance responses to this need. Thus, during 2009, 2011 and 2012, different university institutions, experts in the field and members of civil structures, have shown concern in the formulation of the draft regulation of the structure and functioning of the Council and have held meetings for deliberation on the regulation of this law. As a result, two drafts were drafted, however, the situation remains the same and the law has not yet been regulated.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
