Its objectives are to: :''...be the regulating authority for matters relating to activities such as anatomical and post-mortem examinations, transplantations and the storage of human material for education, training and research.'' It also acts as the UK competent authority under the EU Tissue and Cells Directives. ==The Human Tissue Act== (詳細はULTRA (UK agency) and the post of HM Inspector of Anatomy were abolished and their functions transferred to the Authority. The Act makes ''consent'' the fundamental principle underpinning the lawful storage and use of body parts, organs and tissue from the living or the deceased for specified health-related purposes and public display. It also covers the removal of such material from the deceased. It lists the purposes for which consent is required (the ''scheduled purposes''). The act notably prohibited private individuals from covertly collecting biological samples, such as hair and fingernails, for DNA analysis, but excluded medical and criminal investigations from the offence.〔(Human Tissue Act 2004 ), UK, available in pdf.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Human Tissue Authority」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
