Feminist lawyers in the Netherlands and England and Wales translated the insight that rape has to do with inequality between the sexes in alternative definitions of rape. They also struggled to get these alternative definitions incorporated in law. However, in the Netherlands as well as in England and Wales, feminist proposals to broaden the concept of coercion or non-consent to include submission met with serious obstacles from within the legal system. This article describes the process the feminist proposals to redefine coercion or non-consent in rape law went through in the Netherlands and in England and Wales. It tries to answer the following question: To what extent can the obstacles in this process of forming a broad definition of coercion be attributed to what MacKinnon called the inherent fallocentrism of law?

Some adhere to absolute protection for such embryo from its very conception while others take a gradualist approach. However, human embryonic stem cell research promises great advances for human health and as such is one of the showpieces of innovation the EU wants to facilitate with Horizon 2020. In order to determine the norms that should guide EU funding of research with human embryos in the context of this financial instrument, the Member States have negotiated with each other and with the European Commission. As a result the EU only funds research activities involving existing human embryonic stem cell lines. However, the European Citizen’s Initiative One of us recently has pleaded for a total ban on human stem cell research.

The current CSO representation at the system level of the EU is claimed to be biased in favor of the interests of economic producers and CSOs coming from old member states. The central question of this article is whether these tools help make participation more representative of the diversity of societal groups within the EU. The concept of 'actor representativeness' as well as 'discourse representativeness' will be applied in order to answer this question.

The central question of this article is whether the "model of decentered regulation" indeed brought the solutions that were expected from it. This question will be answered by using the case study of the formulation of the rules concerning the creation of human animal hybrid embryos in the United Kingdom. The analysis of this issue will be used to reflect on four reasons that are brought forward in favour of the model of decentered regulation: 1) the inclusion of necessary scientific expertise; 2) a flexible and efficient mechanism of rule change; 3) coping with diversity in moral beliefs; 4) coping with the changeability of these beliefs in time.
