Abstract

The article raises and explores the topical issue facing the advanced legal systems of the world today, concerning the evaluation of the in vitro embryo in terms of its legal status. On the example of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the legislation of foreign countries the approaches to the in vitro embryo as an object, subject and also based on the sui generis approach used to investigate the legal status of the embryo «in vitro» are considered. Based on the analysis of each of the approaches, the author has drawn conclusions about the most applicable and effective direction of development of the legislation of the Russian Federation on criminal law protection in the field of assisted reproductive technologies, including in relation to embryos in vitro.
