The legal personhood of human brain organoids
Research using three-dimensional neural tissues derived from human pluripotent stem cells—known as ‘human brain organoids’—has progressed rapidly in recent years. Although related ethical issues have been intensively discussed, legal issues have only been sparsely examined. This paper explores a fundamental issue concerning the legal status of human brain organoids: whether they can be considered legal persons.
