Abstract
Background and Aim: Bioethics is one of the emerging topics of the last few decades in the field of biotechnology, which has been discussed in many ways. However the relationship between criminal law and bioethics has not been given much attention. In this article, an attempt has been made to investigate the necessity of criminal intervention in bioethics and to develop a guarantee of criminal execution to comply with the elements of bioethics and to discuss the solutions in this regard.
Methods: The present study was carried out in a descriptive-analytical way using the library method.
Ethical Considerations: In all stages of writing the present study, the originality of the texts, honesty and trustworthiness have been respected.
Results: The findings indicate that the possible consequences of biotechnologies in areas such as human cloning and misuse that may threaten the life and nature of mankind through this biotechnology have made criminal intervention in bioethics a necessity. In other words, it is necessary to observe human dignity, the principle of informed consent, the principle of non-destruction and the observance of a treatment-oriented approach as important principles of bioethics, through criminal intervention, and the development of criminal guarantees. Bio-ethical criminal law, as it originates from minimal government, is qualified as minimal intervention, because otherwise, based on human-centered thought, it will lose its legitimacy and public support.
Conclusion: The standards of human rights are the most important standards that can be the basis for the formulation of criminal guarantee and criminal intervention in bioethics, because human rights seek to respect the rights of all human beings, and at the same time, bioethics seeks to respect human dignity, and to solve human biological dilemmas in the use of biological technology by appealing to informed consent and the principle of non-destruction. Indeed, there is a close semantic connection between human rights and bioethics.
