Abstract

|
|
This essay critically reviews the ’Bioethics & Biosafety Law’(Law No.7150). The law was passed on December 29th 2003 at National Assembly and promulgated on January 25th 2004. The law will take effect wholly on January 1th 2005. But the law has many problems in respect to the bioethics and the dignity of human life. 1. The aim of this law is inappropriate. The aim of this law is to be the guarantee of the bioethics and biosafety. 2. With regard to the application scope, this law is possible to be a lower law than other related laws. 3. The role and constitution of the ’National Bioethics Committee’ is problematic especially in the constitution. 4. The articles related to the human embryo research are to be mostly eliminated or fully amended. Because the human embryo research raises many bioethics problems and violates the dignity of human life. 5. The articles related to the genetic test are to be specified. Therefore this law is to be amended before to take effect. The ’Bioethics & Biosafety Law’ ought to serve and protect the dignity of human life.
