Is human body real or personal property? A human body whether alive or dead is neither real nor personal property. Not even a property at all because it cannot be appropriated. It is indeed a thing or a being because it exists. In fact, it is a tangible or corporeal being or thing as distinguish from the human soul.
When a human being is alive, he cannot, be the object of a contract, for he is considered outside the commerce of man. He may of course, offer to another the use of various parts of his body, even the entire body itself in obligations requiring demonstration or posing in several ways, as when he poses for a painter or sculptor or donate or sell part of it, such as, blood, kidney, eyes, heart but not his body.
Therefore, human body is a being or a thing!
