ABSTRACT

In this article, I point out some mistakes of arguments that Seoul High Court mentioned and suggest new alternatives. Arguments of Seoul High Court have many problems, which fail to pick out the intent of the registry system of stem cell lines and don’t understand the special relation between bioethics and “Bioethics and Safety Act” in korea. I suggest that the essential intent of the registry system of stem cell lines is to give public confidence to korean stem cell lines to be registered and through this system stem cell researchers have many conveniences to reduce some burdens to prove the quality and ethicality of the stem cell that they have used. Therefore, government don’t have the duty to register all stem cell lines to be submitted because maintaining the public confidence is the important request of public interests even though the documents submitted meet the formal standards of korean laws.
