ABSTRACT
The application of new biotechnology has developed with tremendous speed, and DNA technology has created ethical problems related human right, such as early diagnosis, mass screening, prenatal diagnosis, carrier detection of genetic diseases, as well as prediction of genetic susceptibility to common diseases, which become more and more important on our social lives, using genetic counselling businesses, together with such preventive measure as prohibition of inbreeding and promotion of family planing in eugenic law, have been mostly effective. Recently medical assisted procreation, such as artificial conception has developed rapidly, and most recently, cloning embryo experiments reported, these application are still in early stages, and followed ethical debates in this new reproductive technologies. The most vexing ethical issues involve techniques with less obvious benefit to society and greater potential for abuse, therefore, this paper discussed the dangers and ethical problems related with human right such as the development of genome plane, employment, insurance, crime detection by DNA fingerprint, medical diagnosis and treatment by biotechnology, and the manipulation of gene also discussed.

Utilization of medical knowledge during legal proceeding began in the seventeenth century, but its role is quite different between the East and West. Traditional oriental medicine is based on principles of functional harmony of forces such as metal, wood, water, fire, and earth for the human body. Under this system, issues of morality and philosophy play major roles during legal encounters. Western medicine, on the other hand, is based on the structural and factual analysis of material evidence. The author has analyzed the ways the medical profession in the western and eastern worlds have dealt with medicolegal matters concerning poisoning and the like in the past, and he has attempted to propose an effective approach to the use of medical knowledge for the legal system in the future.
