Human Tissue Gift Act

Yukon has not changed their tissue exemptions since adopting the 1971 Uniform Human Tissue Act. Thus, sperm and bone marrow, for example, may be excluded if they fall under the definition of “tissue that is replaceable by natural process of repair”. However, the prohibition on sale is expansive, including “any human body or part of any human body”, except for blood or blood constituents, which may mean that the exempt tissues are still prohibited from sale under the .Human Tissue Gift Act.
