Il corpo umano tra proprietà e autodeterminazione

Abstract

The essay focuses on the law that governs the human body and each of the products that can be created from it, in our globalized and technologically advanced society. The research compares the two different approaches of common law Courts on this matter – rigidly sticking to the doctrine based on proprietary interest or denying it at all – to offer a third possible view, built on the principle of human dignity.
