With the increasing number of disputes related to frozen human embryos,in order to accurately define the legal attributes of frozen human embryos,it is necessary for us to conduct in-depth analyses from the perspective of biological definitions and related theories.Based on the current judicial practice,the author classifies the differences in the decisions,and proposes that the legal attributes of frozen human embryos should be based on their nature,and make it clear that they are?"objects"?before implantation in the mother,and the personality interests contained in them should be specially protected.Finally,based on Article 1183(2)of the"Civil Code of the People's Republic of China",the frozen human embryos are included in the category of?"specific objects with personal significance",and on the basis of not changing the nature of the frozen human embryos as?"objects",the personality interests contained therein should be fully protected.The definition of human embryos in judicial practice is thus a good example of how to define human embryos.This will provide a reasonable path for defining the legal attributes of frozen human embryos in judicial practice.
