Features: Organ transplantation is one of the most groundbreaking human life science and technology in history, hailed as the "pinnacle of 21st-century medicine." The development of organ transplantation has triggered a large number of new legal issues, such as the legal regulation of human organ trade, criminal responses to organ transplantation crimes, the legal application of organ transplantation contracts, and the protection of various legitimate rights and interests in organ transplantation, among others. This book is the first specialized monograph in China to systematically study the law of organ transplantation. It begins by exploring medical organ transplantation and systematically analyzes the various legal issues arising from the development and application of organ transplantation technology. It also introduces and discusses the content of organ transplantation laws both domestically and internationally. On this basis, the book further investigates the current state of organ transplantation legislation in China, legislative models, and legislative principles. Not only does this book propose corresponding countermeasures and suggestions for China's organ transplantation legislation, but it also offers its own insights on specific issues such as "the nature and judicial application of stealing someone else's body organs" and "the civil legal consequences of invalid organ transplantation," which are helpful for judicial workers in applying the law.
