Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of various scientific positions, understanding, disclosure and forecasting of the development of the institute of human rights in the context of the widespread influence of information digital technologies and bioengineering from the point of view of their conditionality with the requirements of ethics. The authors, generally recognizing the importance of the introduction of new information and bioengineering technologies of the development of civilization, at the same time intend to show not only positive, but also negative consequences of their influence. The main ethical risks for the universal concept of human rights, expressed in the depersonalization of a person as an individual and harming his natural-legal nature, life, dignity, health and freedom, are noted. The paper examines the ethical and legal values of human rights in scientific doctrine and international law, draws attention to the ethical aspects of the development of digital rights and human bio-rights, and notes the relevance of the right to privacy.
