Abstract:
In recent years, many advances have been made in the field of genetic engineering and medical sciences. The simulation process is one of the important examples of these developments. This issue has been considered by researchers and researchers from two perspectives: one is to use the simulation process to treat diseases and the other is to use this process to produce new humans. Some researchers in the field of ethics have raised challenges related to the various functions of simulation practice and have opposed them due to the existence of these challenges. Since the field of ethics is one of the most important principles in the field of law and jurisprudence, in the present study with a descriptive and analytical method, it will be observed that the simulation process for the treatment of diseases is not only in conflict or conflict with jurisprudential and moral principles, but also Has been confirmed and emphasized for its very important role in the treatment of diseases, but in connection with the function of the simulation process to produce a new human being, there are important moral and jurisprudential challenges that have caused many jurists to oppose this process. Correspondingly, in the field of criminal law, relying on the principles of innocence and resorting to narrow interpretation, basically the act of simulation with the purpose of treatment cannot be considered a crime until it is included in the explicit text.
