人体基因的人格权属性略探

Research on the Attribute of Human Genes for Personality Right

由于人体基因同时具有物质与信息的双重属性,学术界目前对其法律属性的界定仍存争议。在立法层面,我国亦缺乏对人体基因提供专门性保护的相关法律法规。为此,在现有人体基因民法保护理论基础上,可通过法益分析的研究方法将人体基因界定为人格权属性。同时,在借鉴国外对人体基因立法保护技术的基础上,仍需考虑我国的立法环境及人类基因技术衍生问题的复杂性,适用《侵权责任法》给予人体基因"过渡式保护"。

Due to the human genes has both material and information properties, the academic circles has a dispute on its legal nature. At the legislative level, our country also lacks the relevant laws and regulations for the protection of human genes. Therefore, on the basis of the existing human genetic protection theory, we can define the human genes as the personality right by the method of legal benefit analysis. At the same time, on the basis of studying the foreign country＇s technology in human genes legislation, we also need to consider our country＇s environmental legislation and the human genes technology which would probabIy bring the complexity of the problem. Therefore, we may apply the ＂Tort Liability Act＂ to give a transitional protection for human genes.
