Abstract

Introduction

Whether any property right in a human body exists remains a highly debatable and delicate topic worldwide. This sensitive issue raises more and more attention since technology develops enormously fast so that the law-makers can hardly follow, not only because of the constantly increasing development of the growing fields and research areas of medicine, but also because it seems to be a great burden on their shoulders to make proper law, which should neither be too narrow nor too broad. Thus, it remains the question where to draw the line whereby policy, moral and ethical considerations and implications needs to be taken into account.
