Abstract

The authors investigate the specifics of international legal regulation of genetic aspects in the field of prenatal diagnostics, and analyze the debates on the reasons for this procedure. Based on the key ideas of genetic scientists on genetic screening, the existence and functioning of negative aspects were revealed; the authors provide proposals for levelling the latter. According to the results of the study it seems productive to develop and regulate a particular position on the conventional level in one of the international acts regulating relations in the field of prenatal diagnosis, followed by the implementation of the relevant national legislation. The position that seems mandatorily upon the occurrence of childbearing age, adapted for the particular rule of law is the following: all subjects are required to pass a comprehensive examination for identification of inherited genetic diseases. With regard to this course of development, the author can see an active implementation of prenatal diagnosis and the state care for the health of future generations.
