Сurrent problems and prerequisites for the formation of the legal regime of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) are considered in Russian legislation with account the existing approaches to determining the legal status of a “pre-implantation” embryo obtained in the framework of the in vitro fertilization procedure (IVF) are discussed. The authors substantiates the conclusion that it is necessary to legally determine PGD as one of the stages of using IVF, as well as establishing generally binding requirements for the procedure, conditions and features of this diagnosis, taking into account the need to minimize the damage caused to the human embryo.

This chapter offers a brief description of the main reprogenetic technologies in use today as well as some of the most significant ones being developed. Because of their relevance in the field, particular attention is given to in vitro fertilization (IVF) and preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD). The chapter discusses the differences between somatic and germline modifications, the most common uses of reprogenetic technologies today, and some possible and likely future uses. It also includes a description of recent technological advances such as mitochondrial transfer and gene editing techniques.
