Summary/Abstract: In 2017, the European Parliament identified organoids as one of 10technologies that can change our lives. Indeed, the technology by which scientists can obtain brain, liver, kidney and many other organ-like material opens the way to ex vivo reproduction of organ function. Organoids as living organ miniatures can be used in many ways, in clinical trials of medicinal products, in transplantation, regenerative medicine or in modeling the disease’s mechanism. At the same time, the more scientists approach the reconstruction of an organ, the more ethical and legal dilemmas arise. They concern the property of produced organoids, their status as a product on the market, the principles of their storage and their use (for example, organoid of the uterus or human brain)This paper aims to reconstruct the problems associated with organoids that should be resolved on a normative level, using the achievements of bioethics.
