Abstract:
Background and Aim: In the past decade, the use of limited nuclear technology to remove excess body parts has become common and on the one hand, it is incomplete in the regulations of the Ministry of Health and on the other hand, it has been met with a lack of opposition from the Medical System Organization. In this study, the jurisprudential and legal nature of using this method has been studied.
Method: This study was conducted using an analytical-descriptive method and attempted to explain the true legal nature of using nuclear technology to remove excess body parts.
Ethical Considerations: In all stages of writing, the research principles were followed.
Results: In summarizing the jurisprudential material, as well as the extensive interpretation of the regulations related to nuclear medicine, the use of nuclear technology, which in some way causes the burning of excess parts, has a legal prohibition, which has led to the widespread use of this method in the absence of applicable laws and appropriate executive regulations. In most Western countries, the use of this method is also prohibited and the export of its equipment to other countries is questionable. Therefore, legal prohibition should be considered in the use of this method.
Conclusion: The final conclusion is that in the absence of the specific responsibility of the Ministry of Health, nuclear medicine affairs have many ambiguities and in the absence of appropriate measures by the Ministry of Health, this method is now used in the private sector and there is no legal possibility of dealing with violators. It is necessary to close the gap in the regulations of the Forensic Medicine Organization and the Ministry of Health and to prohibit the use of this technology in the removal of excess body parts in all public and private sectors.
