title: First Moore, then Hecht: isn't it time we recognize a property interest in tissues, cells, and gametes?
abstract: Recognizing the issues created in dealing with human body parts because of medical advances, the authors examine how the law has treated and currently treats tissues, cells, and gametes. In this examination, the authors discuss why the law should recognize property interests in tissues, cells, and gametes and how it might do so.
