After the establishment of the crime of illegal implantation of gene-edited and cloned embryos,there have been some opposing views in academia suggesting issues with the position and provisions of the offense.Based on the interpretive perspective,this crime protects the legal interests of gene pool,human dignity and public health management order.The legislation realizes the protection of substantive legal interests through the protection of formal legal interests.Public health management order is considered the primary legal interest,justifying the crime's rightful place within the criminal law system.The provision regarding the act of"implanting into the uterus"is a crucial step in achieving gene editing or reproductive cloning objectives.This provision technically eliminates the opportunity for the edited or cloned cells to develop into a viable individual,thus achieving the legislative purpose of regulating such criminal behavior.
