LEGAL REGULATION OF THE EXERCISE OF REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS THROUGH ASSISTANT REPRODUCTIVE METHODS AND TECHNOLOGIES IN THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The legal regulation of assisted reproductive methods and technologies in the Republic of Kazakhstan is consistently developing, but still needs to be improved. The study analyzes the main regulatory legal acts regulating assisted reproductive methods and technologies, including the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan in the field of health, marriage and family legislation and orders of the Minister of Health in the field of reproductive medicine. Among the most pressing issues are the socio-legal status of the human fetus, the duties and responsibilities of the surrogate mother and genetic parents, as well as the conditions for the donation of germ cells. The issues of the insufficient legal framework for genetic research, the legal status of the human embryo and legality for research purposes, as well as examples of legal liability for foreign experience and offenses are considered, it is indicated that the lack of legal regulation in matters of surrogacy can lead to abuse. When conducting a comparative analysis, the need to bring Kazakhstan legislation in line with international experience is determined. The authors note the importance of passing separate laws regulating assisted reproductive methods and technologies and ensuring the reproductive rights of citizens. This study will certainly lay the foundations for strategic steps aimed at improving the country's legal system, protecting and developing the reproductive rights of citizens.
