体外胚胎法律问题之研究

Research on the Legal Issues of In-vitro Embryos

体外胚胎的法律性质为物,属于权利的客体;当事人对胚胎所作出的处置及其当事人自身生命状态的存续情况,均涉及到人格权保护的问题,不得违反相应的人格权保护规则。我国《民法典(草案)》对于人体胚胎的行为规制具体体现了这种观念;同时由于胚胎所具有的潜在生命特征,处置胚胎的行为也不得违反公序良俗原则。

The legal nature of in-vitro embryo is an object, and belongs to the object of right. The disposal of the embryos made by the parties and the existence of their own life states all involve personality rights and shall not violate the corresponding rules for the protection of personality rights.This concept is embodied in the Draft Civil Code of Personality Rights in China, which regulates the behavior of human embryos. Meanwhile, due to the potential life characteristics of embryos, the disposal of embryos should not violate the principle of public order and good custom.
