The article is devoted to the problem of determining the basic principles of the legal regulation of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in the Russian Federation, taking into account existing international experience. It is substantiated that the development of national legislation in this area should include the legal definition of PGD as one of the stages of using assisted reproductive technologies, as well as the establishment of generally binding requirements for the procedure, conditions and features of the diagnosis, taking into account the need to minimize the damage caused to the embryo. A comprehensive model for the development of domestic legislation and law enforcement is proposed, the content of which includes state guarantees and restrictions harmoniously complemented by ethical requirements developed by the professional community of specialists in genetics, extending the content of the process of genetic counseling for PGD, interpretation of research results and ensuring compliance with the principle of reproductive freedom in deciding on the results of diagnosis.

Objectives. The aim of this study is the formation of a concept of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in the Russian Federation in the context of ensuring and protecting reproductive freedom of the individual. Material. The regulatory legal acts, the doctrinal sources of the Russian Federation are examined to identify key problems that impede the formation of the desired concept. Methods used: general philosophical, general scientific, private scientific, special (structural-legal, formal-legal). Results. The basic postulates of the concept of legal regulation of PGD in the Russian Federation are substantiated. As part of the analysis of domestic legislation, key problems are identified that impede the formation of the desired concept that meets the level of development of medical science and the needs of consumers of medical services. The conclusion is justified that it is necessary to fix at the legislative level the place of pre-plantation genetic tests in the assisted reproductive technologies system, thus giving PGD independent significance outside the context of the problems of infertility treatment. It has been argued that, in addition to the norms of the basic law on protecting the health of citizens, a separate sub-legislative normative legal act of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation should be developed in the system of legal regulation of PGD in Russia, forming a set of mandatory requirements for the PGD procedure, depending on diagnostic goals, as well as determining which methods are preferable depending on the goal and what results the consumer can count on. Conclusions. It is noted that in the system of norms on genetic research, special attention should be paid to genetic counseling, establishing mandatory requirements for the content of the consultation - in relation to PGD, this should include explanations regarding the algorithm and method of the study, the possibilities and limitations of this type of diagnosis for each a particular case, the features of its application to solve a single genetic problem.

The formation of new trends in the development of molecular genetic diagnosis has allowed to use this knowledge to identify pathologies of the child's development before his birth at the prenatal level. The use of new assisted reproductive technologies(art), aimed at combating infertility, allows to postpone this period even before the implantation of the embryo of the future mother. The use of new techniques should be carried out only for medical reasons, but the mechanism of their legal regulation has not been formed to date, which may be the basis for the use of genetic research carried out within the framework of art in the context of medical expediency. The above allows us to raise the question of the need to develop special legal norms that allow to solve the problem only from the perspective of modern bioethical ideas, but also from the perspective of the formation of law enforcement practice in this area.

Genetic technologies offer wide prospects for socio-economic progress. At the same time, their application in practice could put at stake the interests of society, human rights and freedoms. Therefore, the development of genetic technologies requires its analysis from the standpoint of jurisprudence, thoughtful legislative regulation and protection from uncontrolled spread and criminal use. The paper analyzes different points of view on the use of genetic technologies. The author substantiates the necessity of proper legal regulation and security of the process of development of genetic technologies. The paper contains the results of the scientific research. The paper elucidates the problems related to the use of genetic technologies in the process of artificial human reproduction: imperfection of the legal framework (In particular, lack of the definition of the legal status of human embryo, lack of justification for the legality of its use for research and therapeutic purposes), the threat of the use of genetic technologies for criminal purposes. The author concludes that the use of genetic technologies for criminal purposes is especially dangerous because organized criminal groups focus their attention on genetic technologies. This gives rise to a special criminal situation that requires new approaches for effective counteraction. To this end, the priority is given to identification of crimes committed with the use of genetic technologies and analysis of the emerging practice of investigating this category of crimes. Failure to comply with standards, deviation from regulations and procedures imposed on medical care may result in harm to health or death also when the assisted reproductive technologies are used. The author has made some proposals to solve these problems with due regard to domestic and foreign experience in the use of genetic technologies in the field of human artificial reproduction (in particular, it is proposed to establish effective international cooperation in this area).

The urgency of the article is determined by the need to ensure biological and ecological safety of Russia. The article gives examples of failures of auxiliary reproductive technologies in the Russian Federation and abroad which at present do not have adequate algorithms of legal resolution and are unsafe for ecology and man. Investigating the existing Russian legislation it has been revealed that passing only of obligatory medico-genetic consultation and incomplete medico-genetic inspection with approximate assessment of the genetic status of the donor does not exclude development of the fetus with severe genetic diseases, which is considered by the consumer of the service as poor quality and unsafe. It is noted that in cases of use of biomaterials from abroad, a comparative study of the genome becomes unlikely due to paragraph 7 of Art. 55 of the Federal Law of 21.11.2011 № 323-FZ "On the fundamentals of public health protection in the Russian Federation" and the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia from 30.08.2012. (ed. 01.02.2018) № 107n "On the order of using assisted reproductive technologies, contraindications and restrictions on their use". The conclusion was drawn on the need to develop and fix organizational and legal mechanisms and develop appropriate procedures.

The main changes in the budget legislation related to digitalization and public debt managementof the Russian Federation, that are manifested in the functioning of the electronic budget of the state and the consolidation of the legal definition of "public debt management", are considered. The author concludes that currently the legislator pays special attention to the issues of setting the upper limit of public debt, the maximum amount of borrowing by the subjects of the Russian Federation, as well as determining the debt sustainability of regions. Foreign experience of regulating such issues is analyzed on the example of a number of countries-Germany, Spain and Italy. Subjects of the Russian Federation with different debt loads are considered, as well as trends related to its increase or change. Also the possibilities of assigning the region to one of the groups with a certain level of debt stability of the subject are analyzed.

What exactly does an embryologist do? is one of the most common question asked by patients and the possible answer could be that embryologist is the child’s first watchperson. The ability to grow embryos in laboratory environment was a huge scientific achievement. Scientists and Embryologists are involved in reproductive research and fertility treatment. The embryologist has a huge role to play in IVF/ICSI process and the contribution of embryologist is no less than infertility consultant. They might not be doctors, but they are highly trained medical professionals, holding a master’s degree or Ph.D. due to specialized nature of work. They are responsible for management and maintenance of laboratory used in creating embryos as well as monitoring those embryos. The important activities that embryologist does are maintaining the embryology lab (temperature, humidity, CO2 cylinder, diffusion gas and pH), oocyte screening during ovum pickup (OPU), incubation and checking of fertilization, embryo transfer, vitrification and embryo biopsy for pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) or pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD).
