Summary/Abstract: By and large, the laws regulating human organ transplantation prohibit commercial dealings in human organs. However, the author firmly upholds legitimacy of the human organs procurement on commercial basis, both from the ethical and legal point of view; allowing for this kind of commercial dealings to constitute a class alone, i.e. to represent a unique, sui generis type of commercial dealings. The author maintains that human organs, both from the deceased patients and the living donors, signify a particular, unique class of things – a sui generis category. Despite the fact that commercial dealings in human organs should be allowed, the human organs themselves may not be equated with other things people trade in.
