Abstract

The relevance of the article is in the need to regulate the issue of transplantation of human organs and tissues, protection against illegal transplantation and protection of human reproductive rights. The object of this article is to investigate criminal relationships arising from the illegal transplantation of human organs and tissues and criminal offenses against reproductive rights. The methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, etc. were used in the article. The authors concluded that on the one hand, the possibility of creating a bank of genetically identical donor organs and extending the life of a particular person, on the other, the danger of changing the nature of humans, which will lead to the complete death of modern Homo sapiens. Today, due to a lack of regulation, reproductive rights in Ukraine remain virtually unprotected. Thus, there is a need to include a separate article in the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which will provide punishment for violations of human reproductive rights.
