| Abstract: | The Convention on Bioethics and Medicine, 1997, adopted by the Council of Europe, has provisions affecting gene therapy, biotechnological research and cloning. This Convention makes it clear as a basic principle, that the individual is entitled to protection against unlawful interference with the human body, and prohibits the use of all or part of the body for financial gain. |
