rights of those involved. For that,
the rst topic presents the concept
and functioning of this technolo-
gy and how it could be used in the

cedure. Subsequently, the second
topic addresses some limitations and
challenges to be overcome in its ap-

tem and, mainly, which human rights
may be at stake with that use. The
