The global experience of giving treatment using human genome diagnostics and editing technologies in different countries shows different results. This sphere of public relations raises many disputes on a number of issues in the context of bad faith of those physicians who participate in carrying out the procedures under consideration. Unfortunately, wrongdoers in this area use modern technologies for their own sinister purposes. For the Russian Federation, the problem under consideration is not as urgent as for many more medically developed States. However, if such precedents take place abroad, with a high probability they should be expected in Russia. On this basis, it is necessary to review the legal regulation in terms of establishing penalties for offences in this area. The author analyzes the current normative legal regulation of domestic genetic engineering and gives some proposals for its reform.
