Legal support for the creation and use of genetic technologies in medicine

Abstract

The Russian legal policy in the field of the medicine genetic technologies creation and application does not provide a proper balance between the system of human rights that guarantee the protection of its dignity and health, and the freedom of scientific creativity. The non-coordination of these human rights is manifested in the fact that in the absence of prohibitions on research using technologies of human genome inherited editing, the law deprives patentability of any technology for modifying the genetic integrity of human germline cells. A consistent legal approach involves the restrictions on the possibility of the germ line genomic editing and the prohibition of patenting the methods of such editing, which does not go beyond the given restrictions. It is advisable to take into account the experience of Great Britain.
