论冷冻胚胎的法律属性及可继承性

On the Legal Property and Inheritability of Frozen Embryo

冷冻胚胎是法律上的物,是法律关系的客体。从权利的外观和内容、保护方式、取得等方面来看,当事夫妻对冷冻胚胎所享有的权利应是一种债权,其具有与其他债权不同的人身属性、且其继承蕴藏着诸多法律和道德风险,因而这种债权具有不可继承性。处理冷冻胚胎案件应避免个案特殊化所带来的普遍风险。

Frozen embryo is the object in law and of legal relations. From the aspects of appearance, content,protection and acquisition, the right to the frozen embryo of the couple in relation is a kind of creditor’s right. It has personality which is different from other creditor’s rights, and its inheritance may bring moral and legal risks, so it cannot be inherited. Frozen embryo cases should be handled in a way that avoids the general risks associated with case specialization.
