Abstract

The article examines topical issues of legal understanding and legal regulation of the right of the human embryo and fetus to biosafety. The idea of forming the legal status of the human embryo and fetus is put forward, similar to the status of a born child with fundamental rights to life, health, dignity and biosafety. The assessment of the established legal approaches to solving such problems as the legal nature of the human embryo and fetus, their right to protection of their natural biological existence and development; protecting embryos and fetuses from abuse of biotechnology and genetic engineering. The author considers it important in the modern legal regulation of the use of biotechnologies to find a balance between rationality and humanism, which allows treating the embryo and fetus as a person, in respect of which an appropriate system of legal protection is being built against modern biological threats and challenges caused, among other things, by the unregulated development of biotechnologies.
