Body Parts: Property Rights and the Ownership of Human Biological Materials


Overview

In Body Parts, Gold examines whether the body and materials derived from it-such as human organs and DNA-should be thought of as market commodities and subject to property law. Analyzing a series of court decisions concerning property rights, Gold explores whether the language and assumptions of property law can help society determine who has rights to human biological materials. In a balanced discussion of both commercial and individual perspectives, Gold asserts the need to understand human biological materials within the context of human values, rather than economic interests.
