Natural Sciences and their Popularization: Problems of Interaction and Correlation with Law

Abstract

In this material, readers will be presented with the author’s reflections on the relationship and mutual influence of various natural sciences, in particular genetics and law. In the introduction, attention is drawn to scientific data that show that man as a biological species, in principle, was initially little adapted to the perception and processing of information from natural sciences. This, according to the author, makes it difficult to understand both the specifics of the regulation of medical technologies or genetic research, and the popularization of natural sciences just to facilitate the search for approaches to the legal regulation of such areas. In the main part of the article, several examples will be given and commented on, demonstrating the importance and, at the same time, the difficulty of popularizing natural science knowledge both for law and, in principle, for the existence of the human species. In conclusion, the author’s forecasts regarding the future place of law in relation to the natural sciences, demonstrates possible prospects for their interaction.
