Recently the Dutch government has submitted a Foetal Tissue Bill, containing regulations for all uses of foetal tissue. The Bill probably is to be intergrated in the future Embryo Act that is to regulate dealings with living embryos. This article focuses on the nature and legal status of foetal tissue and on the question of whether it is necessary that legislation separate from existing and future laws on the use of human tissue is necessary or desirable. It is concluded that in this context the use of foetal tissue, being the remains of a foetus that is no longer alive, should preferably not be associated with dealings with embryos but with the use of other human tissue.
最近，荷兰政府提交了一项胎儿组织法案，其中包含了关于胎儿组织所有用途的规定。该法案可能会在未来被纳入旨在规范与活体胚胎相关事务的《胚胎法》中。本文重点关注胎儿组织的性质和法律地位，以及是否有必要制定独立于现行和未来人体组织使用相关法律的立法这一问题。结论是，在这种情况下，作为不再存活胎儿的遗体的胎儿组织的使用，最好不应与胚胎相关事务联系在一起，而应与其他人体组织的使用联系起来。
