The new regulation of non-consensual genetic analysis in New Zealand

Abstract:
The Human Tissue Act 2008 (NZ) makes it a criminal offence for human tissue to be collected for analysis, or to be analysed, without informed consent. The Ministry of Health has described the provisions of the Act as "clos[ing] a gap in current regulation" of such activities. This article questions whether the Act will have this effect, whether it is likely to achieve the other aims as stated by the government in championing it, and how the Act fits with existing regulation.
