摘要:

需要一个伦理和法律框架来适当规范快速发展的人脑类器官研究领域。然而,考虑到人脑类器官研究涉及的法律问题仍然不发达且分散。本文回顾了人脑类器官研究的法律问题,将其分为以下五个主要主题:(1)意识,(2)法律地位,(3)同意,(4)所有权和(5)移植。每个主题中的问题既包括紧急问题(例如,适当形式的同意),也包括推测问题(例如,保护有意识的人脑类器官)。因此,我们试图尽可能明确地说明每个问题的实现时间表,并确定每个问题的优先顺序。对这些问题的研究揭示了人脑类器官研究特有的法律问题以及其他领域研究的常见问题。考虑到相关领域的讨论,未来需要从法律角度进一步讨论人脑类器官研究。© 2024。作者。
An ethical and legal framework is needed to regulate the rapidly developing human brain organoid research field properly. However, considering the legal issues involved in human brain organoid research remains underdeveloped and scattered. This article reviews the legal issues of human brain organoid research, grouping them into the following five broad themes: (1) consciousness, (2) legal status, (3) consent, (4) ownership, and (5) transplantation. The issues in each topic include both the urgent (e.g., appropriate forms of consent) and the speculative (e.g., protection of conscious human brain organoids). Therefore, we have attempted to be as explicit as possible about the timescale within which each issue will be realized and to prioritize each. Examining these issues has revealed legal issues specific to human brain organoid research and issues common to research in other fields. Further discussion of human brain organoid research from a legal perspective is needed in the future, considering discussions in related fields.© 2024. The Author(s).
