Summary/Abstract: The regulation of crimes in the field of the illegal removal and transplant of organs, tissues and cells of human origin at the level of each country is extremely important due to the big social danger of these crimes and the importance of the social values protected by their incrimination, values regarding the life and the physical and mental integrity of the members of society, as well as the respect due to the memory of deceased persons. In this respect, at the level of the European Union, the Directive 2004/23/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council, of 31 March 2004, on setting standards of quality and safety for the donation, procurement, testing, processing, preservation, storage and distribution of human tissues and cells was adopted. There are numerous European countries in which the crimes in the field of the illegal removal and transplant of organs, tissues and cells of human origin are incriminated in the Criminal Code. Their experience should also be followed by Romania, where, at present, the field is regulated by Law no. 95/2006 on healthcare reform, as subsequently amended and supplemented.
