Main Legal Problems of Human Rights in the Field of Modern Medicine and Ways of their Solution in Conditions of Modern Society Development

Abstract

The article examines the main legal issues arising in the application of new medical technologies to man. The author notes that the advances in modern medicine can not only bring benefit to mankind in general, and specific individual in particular, but also cause significant harm to the rights and freedoms of man and therefore they need detailed legal regulation with the aim of minimizing the possible abuses in the process of their application. The author comes to the conclusion about the existence of human rights groups, the most exposed to as a positive the negative influence of modern medicine, but also notes that the rapid development of medicine leads to the isolation of new rights and freedoms, as well as expanding the content of existing ones. The article also notes that, despite the obvious danger associated with the use of modern medical technology, there has recently been a trend towards permissive legal regulation of the discussed public relations, and increasingly the most controversial technology is recognized by the legislators of foreign countries to be permissible and acceptable. However, the main task of law should be the protection of human rights in the context of rapid development of modern medicine, which should be achieved both on the individual level and at the level of society and eventually of humanity as a whole.
