PROSPECTS FOR THE LEGAL REGULATION OF THE PROCEDURE OF PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION (BASED ON THE EXPERIENCE OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY)

Introduction. The relevance of the consideration of the legal regulation of the ADG procedure in Russia is determined by a set of ethical and legal problems related to the specifics of the normative regulation of the procedure itself and the legal consequences of its implementation. Goals and objectives. The purpose of this study is to identify prospects for the development of legal regulation of the procedure of ADG in Russia, taking into account the experience of Germany; to achieve this goal, tasks were set and solved for the study of regulatory legal acts, judicial practice and doctrinal sources of these countries. Material and methods.Legislative acts, by-laws, judicial practice, doctrinal sources of Russia and the Federal Republic of Germany are studied. Methods used: general philosophical, general scientific, private scientific, special (structural-legal, comparative-legal, formal-legal). Results.A comprehensive assessment was made of the prerequisites for establishing the legal regime of the ADG in Russia, problems were identified that need to be addressed taking into account international law and the experience of the FRG. Discussion. It has been established that the discussion about the prospects for the legal regulation of PGD comes down to two questions - determining the legal status of a human embryo and setting the limits of its legal protection. Conclusions. For the first time, the authors substantiate the conclusion about the need to legalize PGD procedures in Russia, it is proposed to determine a number of basic conditions for this diagnosis: 1) at the embryo cultivation stage, a detailed medical consultation should be provided containing an explanation of the procedure, its legal consequences and the risks of false the diagnosis; 2) the general prohibition on the choice of the sex of the unborn child existing in Russian law should be maintained; 3) PGD should be carried out at the stage of embryo development, excluding the possibility of its use for stem cell donation.
