Abstract

The article examines the right to human biological safety in relation to other human rights. It is noted that biological safety is one of the new types of safety that require coordinated individual and collective protection. The peculiarities of the nature and content of the right to biological safety in relation to the fundamental rights to life, to health protection and to human integrity are revealed. The functional role of the right to biological safety in the human rights system of the new generation is revealed. The place of the right to biological safety in the bio-rights system is revealed. Attention is drawn to the binary relationship between the right to biological safety and the duty to take care of one’s health. The conclusion is formulated about the need to improve the legal regulation and institutionalization of the right to biological safety.
