THE CONCEPT OF LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY IN IMPLEMENTATION OF THREE-DIMENSIONAL BIOPRINTING TECHNOLOGY USING PATTERNS OF MECHANISMS PROVIDED BY CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW

Abstract

In this study, the procedure of bioprinting is considered as a medical service in order to analyze existing methods of protecting violated consumer rights and develop a concept of legal liability based on the mechanisms of patterns established by consumer protection legislation. The current state of three-dimensional printing in the law system of the Republic of Belarus is being examined. The specifics of consumer protection are studied in the context of the application of bioprinting technology, specifically, judicial protection based on contractual and tort legal relations and the identification of the subjects who should be held responsible for actions containing signs of an offense or a crime. The use of the concept of «product liability» is offered for in order to protect consumer rights during the use of 3D-printing technology. The implementation of this theory in the law system of the Republic of Belarus will increase the effectiveness of the protection of consumer interests.
