The meanings of the value of the dignity of human life and genoeugenization

Background: Among the areas of modern scientific and technological development, one of the leading places is occu-pied by new technologies of medical genetics: genetic editing of the human embryo genome (embryoengineering), medical genetic counseling, prenatal, neonatal, preconception diagnosis of hereditary diseases, technologies for the selection and selection of embryos, therapeutic and reproductive cloning human, etc. The question arises: how do genetic technologies and the development of genomic medicine affect changes in public and individual consciousness, and, above all, on the meaning of the meaning of the value and dignity of human life? Aim: To consider the main results of the development of genomic medicine technologies, such as the increase in the detection of genetic diseases, the increasing need for eugenic abortions and the use of embryos in research, and the introduction of genetic testing. Materials and methods: The historical and logical research method, as well as the historical and philosophical approach, allow the author to identify not only the ethical novelty of the geneticization of healthcare, but also a new form of social embodiment of the ideas of naturalistic-pragmatic ethics. Results: The value-worldview understanding of the consequences of the development of genomic medicine technologies leads to the need to introduce the concept of «genoeugenization» as a characteristic of the moral meaning of processes occurring in society un-der the influence of new medical genetic practices.Conclusion: The author substantiates the importance of the humanitarian-educational, legal and moral-philosophical level of knowledge for solving the problems of preserving the traditional moral value of the dignity of human life.
