Your Body Parts and the Law

- Do we own our own body parts? What can we do with them? Can we sell them and control what others do with them? People often say, "it’s my body", but the law is much more complex.
This lecture explains the law on body part ownership, tracing it from the early legal cases through the body-snatching years of the Victorian period, to the present day. Should we use the law of property to regulate human tissue?

A very interesting and thought provoking lecture. All law students out there should watch this. Thank you Imogen Goold and Gresham College.
I clicked on this because it turned up in my recommendations and I had no idea why. - I've not been following much, or any, medical or scientific paths.
I found it surprisingly interesting [well, it surprised me].
Timely. Thank you
Thanks for this insightful essay on ownership of human remains.
I wasn't planning to listen to the whole of this, but I did. Unexpectedly fascinating and important.

Speaking of community ownership of body parts, Fremen law and custom says:
*_"A man’s flesh is his own; the water belongs to the tribe."_*
Great content , Property is 9 , 10ths of Law , However this brings up use issues , Privacy , Character , Moral and ethical , Medical Ect . that should have re inspection Rules , Thank You :' QC
Interesting, it seems like a difficult question. Not sure where I sit between the property and consent models. Not sure I can even see all the benefits and problems with both models.
Rescind the birth certificate; it was created by the British Banks and had your mother use her maiden name so Uncle Sam can be your daddy. It's a bait n switch. They use it as a deed and it's to you. Return them to the Sec of Treasury or Federal Reserve tell them you don't accept their offer you were a day old and had no knowledge of the transaction. Create your own record and for your date use a statement that claims another day. I believe according to their legalese laws when your born the placenta plays a role to. See videos on maritime

To give historical context for this one must include the self evident truths proclaimed in the declaration of independence.
It would seem there is not a discussion of mitigating the possibility of corporations owning body parts given the advancement of technology ie. Crispr editing and cloning.
Very informative, but I do not agree that the community should have any rights to a person's body, especially if it's against the human persons decisions in the first place, every human should have the right to choose themselves what happens to their body once they passed away! That case with the two kidneys is shocking and fundamentally wrong considering it went against the personal decision of the dead person who wished for both kidneys to go to their friend!
What about male circumcision?

Interesting lecture. I find that treating body parts as property has some merit with the person who the part(s) came from having sovereign rights to it, however it has problems in which that DNA is a 'creative work' of your parents. So in the act of creating you, where do their rights stop? Or do you have the right to say donate 'your' blood which has the hallmarks of your parents (thereby abridging the rights of your parents/ancestors who may NOT want to provide or give consent to giving their history information). So it's probably closer to property as well as information/copywrite laws. I.e. you may have certain limited rights to use or direct your 'parts' while you are living but you (and no-one you gave/donated/etc) would have any rights to using said parts for data mining or other purposes as you never received permission from everyone in your dna/rna back through time. It's a thorny problem and rife with abuses.
my surgeon was jailed for body mofification we gave consent to working on us and amputation of parts. I kept my nipples and ear in my freezer for years, I also have explored selling my skull to a person and my body for preservation because i am ecessivly tattooed over 1500 hours
Hard to get behind the idea that anyone ever thinks they have access, ownership, dominion or propriety of any kind over anyone's body parts ever. Let alone the hide to write or apply "laws" to take a position, legal or otherwise. How bizarrely arrogant and pompous.
If we desensitize ourselves from the body as in we simply view the body as material and nothing more then there is no argument for the protection of children.
Insighful and informative. Wondered if you had thoughts about the post WW1 situation where the state basically took ownership of the bodies of military personel killed in Europe. Repatriation was not deemed an option and relatives were stripped of any right to bury the dead in, for example, their home town. The Graves Registration Unit recovered and identified corpses where possible and the Commonwealth Graves Commission processed then reburied the dead in vast government funded graveyards.
I wonder if this was legal.
That's really interesting. It has to have been tested in court. Probably quite easy to find if you know where to look.
We see what happens when the state and it's agencies take ownership of the human body as its property
Ie. Nuremberg and Germany mid 20th century.
Human beings should be prohibited from being seen in law as a product or property in regards to state or commercial control.
body parts are big business i've heard 👂
A fetus is a body part.
