<p align="justify">Creating <b>guidelines</b> and a <b>legal framework</b> is essential for safety reasons and to reassure the general public. In Europe, there is no law specifically concerning synthetic biology but synthetic biology is framed by <b>common biology laws</b>. In France, the first laws concerning bioethics were put in place in 1994. [2] Before, general laws existed but did not deal with the particular ethical aspects which come from biology and using living organisms. On the 1st of July, the law n°94-548 presents guidelines for data processing in medical research. This updated the law n°78-17 (1978) relative to informatic and big data processing in all fields of research. Quickly after, on the 29th of July 1994, two laws were put in place: law n° 94-653 and 94-654 which deal with respecting the human body and products which come from the human body. These laws cover the protection of patients which was then introduced in the Civil code, organizational rules in medical sectors and guidelines to be put in place to protect people involved in medical research programs. In march 2002, patient rights are put in place and certain end of life guidelines are discussed. Futile medical care is banned. | <p align="justify">Creating <b>guidelines</b> and a <b>legal framework</b> is essential for safety reasons and to reassure the general public.

<p align="justify">Specifically for synthetic biology, a European project called <b>SYNBIOSAFE</b> approved by the European Commission has focused on ethics and safety of synthetic biology. In 2012, it published an <a href="http://www.biofaction.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/igem-biosafety-2013.pdf" target="_blank">article</a> concerning the bioethical and biosafety attentions in iGEM competitions.These two types of frameworks help the researcher to answer to many ethical questions in the clearest way possible. | <p align="justify">Specifically for synthetic biology, a European project called <b>SYNBIOSAFE</b> approved by the European Commission has focused on ethics and safety of synthetic biology.
