§ 77.002. POLICY. It is important to the health and
welfare of the people of this state that scientific knowledge,
skills, and materials be available for the procedures of
transplantation, injection, transfusion, or other transfer of
human body parts. The imposition of strict liability on persons and
organizations engaged in these scientific procedures inhibits the
exercise of sound medical judgment and restricts the availability
of the knowledge, skills, and materials. It is therefore the public
policy of this state to promote the health and welfare of the people
by limiting the legal liability arising from those scientific
procedures to instances of negligence.
Acts 1985, 69th Leg., ch. 959, § 1, eff. Sept. 1, 1985.
