Jurisprudence and legal analysis of gene therapy and its effects

Today, one of the most important knowledge that has had a great impact on the treatment of many diseases and birth defects is the knowledge of genetics. By influencing human genes, this field has caused important works in the world of law and new challenges to be faced by lawyers. Therefore, many efforts have been made in this field to systematize the issues related to gene therapy. The main purpose of compiling the current research is to explain the challenges and legal effects caused by gene therapy in humans. Knowing the juridical and legal foundations of this institution in Iranian law can clarify the scope of the discussion. According to the materials presented in the present research, the conclusion is finally reached that the greatest religious opposition in connection with gene therapy is among Christian scientists. Of course, this opposition is much less in connection with gene therapy on non-sexual cells. In absolute Islam, gene therapy is considered permissible. From the point of view of jurisprudence, genetic engineering is considered permissible for non-therapeutic purposes as well. It is very necessary and necessary to amend the regulations related to gene therapy in the law of Iran in such a way as to support scientists in this field. In relation to civil responsibility, according to the issues raised, it seems better that the damages caused to the sick person or the person who is tested should be fully compensated, this compensation should be fully done by the government. . Because the main goal of researchers in this field is to obtain new knowledge that can have a great impact on the progress of the country.
