The вiscussion about the legal regulation of biomedical technologies flared up with renewed vigor after the data on the He Jiankui experiment, the essence of which was artificial editing of the genome of human embryos. This work investigates the problem of applying the principle of personality achievement in the discourse of legal regulation of genetic editing technology. Given the fact that there are a number of rules governing certain cases of genome editing, this work focuses on the study of cases prohibited by current international law. Most of these cases of application of this biomedical technology are associated with humiliation of human dignity, for this reason, this article examines exclusively the connection of this universal value with genetic editing. The article highlights the main problems of the concept of achievement, the use of genetic editing technology, as well as its legal regulation. In addition, the basis of arguments is considered separately, on the basis of which opponents of the application of the technology under consideration apply to the concept of achievement and its humiliation.
