LEGAL REGULATION OF GENOMIC RESEARCH IN RUSSIA AND FOREIGN COUNTRIES: BIOETHICAL AND SOCIO-CULTURAL CONTEXTS

Abstract

The article discusses the experience of philosophical substantiation of the regulation of genetic research and bioengineering in different countries. The focus of research interest is the dependence of relevant practices on sociocultural universals, ontological assumptions and epistemological contexts. The problem of the diversity of ways of interpreting the concept of genetic identity and the uncertainty of its philosophical and legal status are posed. Particular attention is paid to the relationship of genetic research with the development of modern technologies, which require integrated legal regulation, taking into account its heterogeneity and dependence on ethical, legal, natural science and social knowledge. Issues of preserving the effectiveness of legal regulation in the context of active public intervention in the natural order of human existence are themed and problematized.
