Regulation and Implementation of the Right of Access to Pre-Implantation Testing: Some Constitutional Law Issues

The access to preimplantation diagnostics is associated with a complex of ethical and constitutional problems which are clear if we take a glance on the corresponding legal provisions. The paper examines the prospects for the development of legal regulation of the procedure in Russia, considering the experience of foreign countries. The author concludes that it is necessary to preserve the general prohibition on the choice of the sex of the unborn child existing in Russian law and proposes to expand the access of citizens to the procedure by introducing state quotas.
