Novels of modern domestic legislation in the field of genomic therapy and the prospects for its implementation in everyday life

Abstract

Recent events in Russia and in the world have shown the high importance of medicine for modern society. It became obvious that a large number of threats are concentrated from the point of view of the consistency of the healthcare system, which can be ensured by coordinated actions of state structures based on a high-quality regulatory legal framework. On the other hand, new means and methods of treating various diseases seem to be important. One of these areas of high-tech medicine is the diagnosis and editing of the human genome. There is practically no normative legal regulation of this activity, despite the fact that modern legal science is replete with proposals in this regard and notes an acute shortage of this regulation. Nevertheless, these medical technologies had some influence on minor changes in the legal regulation of this area, including the special powers of the federal territory “Sirius”, revision of the system of state control and supervision over the production and distribution of biomedical cell products and some progress in causing and compensating harm from conducting genomic research. The scientific novelty of this work is the conclusion about the impact of genomic medicine on legal regulation in Russia, as well as proposals for further improvement of such work. The purpose of the study is to analyze the latest legislative innovations to assess the impact of modern medical technologies on them, as well as to determine the main directions for further improving the legal system in this area. Methodology. To carry out this study, we analyzed the domestic legal regulation on the issue of genomic therapy in its dynamics over the past few years, used the method of expert assessments, the comparative legal method. The main suggestions were made by the modeling method. Key conclusions are made based on general philosophical methods of scientific knowledge — analysis and synthesis, deduction and induction.
