Abstract
The article analyzes the problems of determining the legal status of an embryo in Russian and international law. The main approaches to understanding the legal nature of the embryo are considered as a subject of law, an object of law or a part of the mother’s body. Particular attention is paid to issues of reproductive rights and the permissibility of artificial abortion. The practice of the US Supreme Court and the legislation of different countries regarding abortion are analyzed. The author's vision of the optimal legal regime is formulated from the point of view of maintaining a balance between the rights of a woman and the interests of the embryo.
