Abstract

The purpose of the research. The article examines the legal regulation of biomedical experimental research as a necessary condition for the implementation of such experiments in the field of treatment and prevention of diseases within the framework of human rights. International acts, the Constitution of the Russian Federation, and national legislation proclaim full awareness and the need for the voluntary consent of the persons participating in the experiment. Such restrictions are conditioned by the requirements of observance, protection and protection of human rights, respect for personal dignity, but do not exclude restrictions of such rights when certain circumstances occur. The aim of the study is to study the theoretical foundations of the legal regulation of biomedical experiments, legislative consolidation and judicial practice on the implementation of relevant legal norms at the national and supranational level, to determine the features of law enforcement on the example of vaccination with experimental vaccines against COVID-19. Results. As a result of the conducted research, the authors come to the conclusion that the expansion of the possibilities of biomedical experiments due to emergency circumstances (epidemics, pandemics, the threat of mass diseases and mortality) occurs in accordance with the accepted legal regulation. The authors believe that the state needs to take into account the cautious attitude of society towards biomedical experimental research in the form of vaccination with experimental vaccines, minimizing public and personal concern through further specification of regulatory regulations and law enforcement.
