Abstract
The article substantiates the need to establish legal principles for the use of gene modifications in human embryos and reproductive cells; highlights the problems of genome editing that require understanding by legal science, including at the international and national levels, and do not have a clear solution at the present stage. Purpose: based on the analysis of the legislation of foreign countries, the need for accessibility and openness to the international community of information on the safety of using technologies for gene editing of human germline, the identification of new forms of scientific activity focused on working with public opinion on the use of genetic technologies is proved. Methods: methods of comparative legal analysis, formal logic, description, statistical methods, and the method of legal norms interpretation are used. Results: at the present stage, the main task of the legal community is to develop legal principles for regulating public relations in the field of genetic engineering and biomedical technologies. At the same time, the most important component is the formation of public participation and active involvement of public institutions in the formation of the legal environment for creating a system of legal norms that meet the realities of scientific progress and protect the rights and interests of each person and humanity as a whole.
