Abstract

At present times human biological materials are used for a great number of purposes. In this work we are going to deal with those that raise less conflict from a social point of view, but that, nevertheless, present interesting ethical and legal issues. On the one hand, diverse biological materials are used every day to carry out medical analyses, with the intention of testing the present or future health of the patient. On the other hand, some biological materials can be used for therapeutic purposes in the own subject or in a third person. That is the case of organ and tissue transplantation. The author analyses the extensive legislation existing in this topic in relation with the obtaining, use and storage of the above mentioned biological materials.
