Abstract
Background and Aim: Possibility of genetic studies in human tissues, lead to increasing importance of this tissues in the scientific community and on the other hand, commercial exploitation of human tissue has become one of today's challenges. This study aims to examine the approaches to the challenges in this area.
Materials and Method: The method of the research is descriptive-analytical and it has done using library resources.

Findings: The results show that law of various countries have adopted three different approaches in commercialization of human tissue: legitimacy of commercialization, prohibition and moderate approach.
Conclusion: Many of the challenges and concerns about the commercialization of human organs and tissues for transplantation purpose cannot be applied in the scientific researches; In addition to extensive benefits of commercialization of human tissue for research purposes such as increasing the public confidence toward researchers and research institutions, solving the problem of shortage of human tissues and biological materials for scientific research, clarification of legal relationship and appreciation of the contributions of donors of human tissue in the process of scientific research, leaving no doubt that commercialization of human tissue for research purposes is necessary.
