Civil Law Regime of Human Organs, Tissues and Prostheses: Existing Problems and Solutions
Annotation
With the emergence of 3D-printing and the development of various methods for creating and modifying objects in the surrounding world, the legal regime of objects created as a result of such activities raises increasingly complex questions. Particular difficulty arises in the legal classification of objects made from atypical materials and cyber-modified objects, especially when they are additionally equipped with artificial intelligence resources. There is a risk of blurring the legal regimes of objects if objects similar to or analogous to restricted or prohibited objects are created using 3D printing and other technologies. In this article, the author aims to assess the legal regime of human organs and tissues, as well as various types of prostheses, in order to identify existing gaps. The author concludes that existing inaccuracies, blanket references, and contradictions in regulation across different sectors (civil law, criminal law, medical law) lead to significant legal uncertainty and require thorough examination and rectification.
