Abstract:

A human corpse is considered an object under Polish law. However, there are substantial and far-reaching restrictions on its handling and disposal. The law also requires a particular treatment of human corpses, by instituting the concept of desecration as a crime. Another important issue is the matter of transplants of bodily tissue and organs of a deceased person. The article discusses the ownership of items placed on the human corpse, the right to these items, as well as the situation of the party injured by an act of grave-robbing
