Problems of Legal Regulation of Diagnostics and Editing of the Human Genome in the Russian Federation

Modern science has achieved very significant results in different areas. For ordinary people, it is gratifying that such achievements help to treat complex diseases, and the technologies themselves now reduce the cost of treatment unlike the most other factors affecting the medicine. One of these areas of scientific knowledge is genetic engineering that can change only separate parts of the human body or influence the transformation of the human body in general. This raises ethical issues that provoke a large number of disputes in the society. To overcome them, there is a need for a clear conceptual understanding of the problems associated with the diagnosis and editing of the human genome, on the basis of which an effective normative legal framework that will satisfy the interests of all participants of these legal relations should be developed.
