The aim of this article is to introduce a legal perspective on this subject matter and outline possible newly regulated areas.

The subject matter is linked not only with the legislation contained in the Czech Civil Code in the section devoted to products having its origin in the human body, but also with other laws in the area of medical law. The position of regulatory authorities in the EU is also mentioned.
