Abstract

. Scientific and technological breakthrough, improvement of medical care technologies, processes of genetic engineering and other biomedical technologies require proper legal, including criminal law regulation. Of course, many potentially socially dangerous acts in these areas have not found their actual manifestation to date, but this does not mean that they do not require criminal legal regulation. After all, several decades ago, with the same success, the world community did not even assume about such negative phenomena as cybercrime, in particular, cyberterrorism, cyberterrorism, phishing, etc., while today the efforts of many states are aimed precisely at criminal legal counteraction to the noted illegal encroachments. In the absence of a definition of the concept of “iatrogeny” and “iatrogenic crimes” at the legislative level, the issues of classification of iatrogenic crimes are widely discussed in scientific circles. Most authors refer to them only traditional iatrogenic crimes, at the same time, we defend the position regarding the attribution of non-traditional iatrogenic crimes to them, which have no less degree of public danger. The issues of genomic research are relevant primarily due to the fact that they are at the intersection of ethics and law. To date, such issues as editing, modification of the human genome, the legal status of the human embryo and its criminal protection, new reproductive technologies are on the agenda. The development of biomedical technologies actualizes the issue of their proper legislative regulation, criminalization of potential socially dangerous acts in the areas under consideration and identification of criminal law problems in the application of modern biomedical technologies.
