论个人基因信息的法律地位及其保护

On the Legal Status and Protection of Individual Genetic Information

随着生物技术研究的迅猛发展,生命科学进入了"后基因组时代",个人基因信息保护成为一项崭新课题摆在人们面前。基因信息具有人身可分离性、可复制性、与人身的密切相关性、遗传性和财产利益性的特点,因此,不应套用传统的权利模式,而应设立一项独立的权利——基因信息权,对个人基因信息进行保护。基因信息权包括基因信息控制权、基因信息知情权和基因信息支配权。我国在加强国内立法的同时还应加强国际合作,保护个人基因信息权。

With the rapid development of the study of biological technology, life science has entered a ＂peat-genome era＂, and the protection of individual genetic information has become a new task confronting people. Genetic information has some characteristics： it can be duplicated and separated from human body, it is closely connected to the human body, and it can be inherited and entities people legal inheritance right. Therefore, we should not apply the traditional right pattern, but to set up one independent right to protect individual genetic information in light of its characters. The fight of genetic information includes the controLLing right of genetic information, the right to know and the right to dominate. Our country ought to strengthen domestic legislation to protect the right of individual genetic information.
