Human reproductive cells as objects of civil turnover in Russia and foreign countries

Abstract

 The article is devoted to the consideration of the issue of civil law regulation of the donation of human reproductive cells in order to substantiate the  fundamental possibility of classifying them as separate objects of civil rights by generalizing the practice of foreign and domestic regulation of property and obligation relations arising from the donation and use of human  gametes. With the development of new technologies, the commercialization  of the field of assisted reproductive technologies, the development of the surrogacy market, the question of the turnover of such objects as human reproductive cells will be quite acute. According to the results of the study, questions are raised for further development in the legal doctrine, as well as the formation of legislation in the field of turnover of human gametes (reproductive) cells.
