Abstract:
The Moore case is very important in medical law. It extends the scope of disclosure to cover the personal interests of physicians, including economic and research interests. The case gives the patients, who donate human tissue, an informed-consent-based personality protection. It respects patients' autonomy and right of control. It respects the dignity and sacredness of human being. It is reluctant to deem human tissue as property and holds that it will hinder research activities. In the court's opinion, the doctrine of informed consent can play an equivalent role as conversion.
