Abstract
Objective: This research examined the civil liability of stem cell banks. It studied the phenomenon with reference to the Jordanian Civil Code, particularly in the instructions issued under the stem cell system, within the instructions for insurance of stored stem cells and its amendments of 2014.
 
 Method: The descriptive analytical approach was used through extrapolating and analyzing the legal texts regulating the obligations of stem cell banks and the terms of the agreement related to contracts for storing and preserving stem cells, and deriving civil liability provisions accordingly.
 
 Result: The Jordanian legislator did not define the contract for preserving and storing stem cells. It recognized the necessity of financial compensation for damage to stem cells. However, it did not address the obligation to compensate for material or moral damage if the bank breached its obligation to deliver stem cells for the purposes of treatment.
 
 Conclusion: Stem cells are at the forefront of research in the medical fields, as stem cells have been proven to provide solutions to incurable diseases, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and other diseases.
