Protection of the rights of citizens when using genomic technologies: a civil law aspect. Monograph

the era of scientific, technological and technological progress, in which humanity has existed at the present stage of social development, has been distinguished in recent years by the rapid expansion of the sphere of influence of genetic science: study of human genome, achievement of genetic engineering - all this expands the boundaries of human life and discovers prospects in solving many topical issues of medicine, the development of biotechnologies, resolving acute social problems of modern society.

However, in connection with the application of such technologies in medicine, the question arose about the need to develop the concept of civil protection of the rights of relations associated and the creation and creation of and using genomic technologies. The greatest danger of the development of genomic studies may be discrimination of individual citizens or groups of persons based on the generative information about them, the creation of genetic passports of a person, and the illegal distribution of genetic data. There is a danger of segregation of citizens on the basis of the presence of genetic diseases or deviations from the norm. The ensuing of the rights of citizens at the stage of genomic research, including when providing the results of such studies of legal protection.

, involving the results of genomic technologies into civilian circulation, the provision of services in this field, pose important to ensure quality control of quality control these services, responsibility for the inadequate quality of the service rendered, the problems of civil protection of the rights of citizens, commercial use of genetic material and other pressing legal issues that require permission.

In this regard, the development of effective legal mechanisms of civilian legal protection of citizens' rights both when creating and using genomic technologies; determination of the features of contracts in the field of use of genomic technologies, the conclusion of which may be touched on the rights and interests of citizens; identification of risks and possible negative consequences for individuals in the field of application of genomic technologies and the development of proposals for their minimization; Making proposals for improving civil law in this area, including by adopting a special law.

The legislation is given as of February 1, 2022.

for scientists, teachers, graduate students, students practicing lawyers and medical workers, as well as everyone who is interested in the problems of applying modern biomedical technologies.
