| dc.description.abstract | This research supports that Law and Health are both autopoietic Social Systems and, therefore, its decisions must be limited by its code/programming. On these terms, as health is situated between several other systems, as Economy and Politics, a transdisciplinar observation is mandatory, specially when it is intended to verify if Judiciary, Law Systems central organization, is able to grant experimental medicines appeals in disadvantage on State, observing strictly its funcional code and programming, but not causing any corruption of the System nor autopoietic problems. For this, elements like complexity, risk and contingency must be developed, because they must be considered in order to decide, and on issues involving health they are highly relevant, since there is an excess of possibilities of decisions and the risks and dangers could cause death to a patient, according to the decision made or according to the way it will be operationalized. From this perspective, it is possible to observe that a paradox has emerged from this decisional process, that neither Law, nor Health and nor Political System found out a new way of observation, in order to overcome it. So, as there is a paradox and the necessity of overcoming still not reached, it is needed a second-order observation about the decisions made, what will allow to visualize the comunicational meanings they has produced and how arguments originated from other systems have been internalized in order to serve as groundwork for these same decisions. On this path, this work will be developed based on Niklas Luhmanns Theory of Systems and Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varelas Theory of Autopoiesis, as these theories make possible an observation of the society and of the new comunicational improbabilities in a more proper and complete way. | en |
