Abstract
There is a growing interest in scientific research using data and bodily material for medical purposes. In 2007 and 2011, results were published of studies on the genetic properties of the DNA of a deceased person. This case raises the question whether a deceased is entitled to legal protection, more specifically privacy protection in scientific research in the Netherlands. This article outlines the Dutch legal framework for scientific research involving historical data and bodily material as well as bodily material and parts of the deceased. These considerations do indicate that further legislation will be required, specifically with respect to the proper use of bodily material of the deceased and subsequent publication of the results.
