Through the analysis of the main legal disputes over the use and storage of bodily material this chapter aims to formulate the initial analytical distinctions required to assess the appropriate legal status of bodily material. This chapter demonstrates how ‘ownership’, as understood as a bundle of entitlements in an object or resource, is not a legal concept. As such, ownership is analytically distinct from ‘property’, since property concerns a particular legal relationship between the rights-holder and the duty-bearer with regards to an object or resource. This chapter then suggests that viewing the law in terms of ‘incidents of ownership’ demonstrates the variation of functional relationships within the ownership bundle. This variation is relevant to the task of justifying the ownership. An initial distinction between different ways of justifying ownership is then discussed.Less

The ELOHA framework aims to develop quantitative relationships between flow regime alteration and ecological response by testing plausible hypotheses derived from hydro-ecological literature and professional knowledge. In this methodology, the rivers of a user-defined geographic region are classified into a few distinctive flow regime types that are expected to have different ecological characteristics. Flow alteration-ecological response relationships are developed for each river type, based on a combination of existing hydro-ecological literature, field studies across gradients of hydrologic alteration, and expert knowledge. The ELOHA framework proceeds within an adaptive management context in which the objective is to formalize ongoing collection of monitoring data, or targeted field sampling, to test and fine-tune the hypothesized flow alteration-ecological response relationships.Less
