These developments carry significant implications for law and public policy, highlighting the importance of legal research in regulating biomedical innovation. This article explores the transformation of traditional legal principles in family and inheritance law, focusing primarily on surrogacy under the influence of reproductive technologies. The concept of biolaw is introduced as an integration of law and biomedicine, alongside the emerging interdisciplinary field of neurolaw, which studies how advances in neurobiology influence jurisprudence. Key areas of interaction between neurobiology and law include the development of judicial practice, legislative reform informed by neuroscience evidence, and shifts in the general theory and philosophy of law. Philosophical ideas about constructing future societies grounded in biomedical achievements - proposed by thinkers such as F. Fukuyama, E. Toffler, A. Bard, and J. Söderqvist - are discussed. The article highlights certain central public concerns: social control, biologically based hierarchies, renewed eugenics, and discriminatory practices. It identifies biomedical technologies with potential to fundamentally transform society, the emerging risks they pose, and possible legal ramifications. Examples discussed include the creation of artificial wombs and genome editing, both of which may have applications beyond biomedicine for broader social purposes. The article also points out gaps in Russian legal regulation and presents the results of a comparative legal study, culminating in general recommendations for improving Russian legislation.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Биомедицинские технологии, получив стремительное развитие в последние десятилетия, стали затрагивать саму природу человека, а также форматировать под новые принципы окружающую социальную среду. Эти процессы оказывают влияние на право и государственную политику, усиливая актуальность юридических исследований в области регулирования биомедицинских. Рассматривается трансформация традиционных правовых принципов в области семейного, наследственного права под влиянием репродуктивных технологий (наибольшее внимание уделено суррогатному материнству). Представлена концепция биоправа как результата интеграции права и биомедицины, а также новой области междисциплинарных исследований - нейроправа, в рамках которого изучаются возможности влияния достижений в области нейробиологии на юриспруденцию. Определены направления взаимодействия нейробиологии и права: формирование судебной практики; реформа законодательства на основе данных, полученных в области нейробиологии; изменения в общей теории и философии права. Представлены некоторые философские концепции построения общества будущего (Ф. Фукуямы, Э. Тоффлера, А. Барда и Я. Зодерквиста), основанные на достижениях биомедицины. Показано, что в центре общественного внимания находятся следующие потенциальные риски: установление социального контроля; ранжирование и иерархия на биологической основе; обновленная евгеника; дискриминационные практики. Выделены некоторые биомедицинские технологии, которые могут претендовать на принципиальные преобразования социума, возникающие риски, а также потенциальные правовые последствия. В качестве примера указывается на создание искусственной матки и геномное редактирование. Каждая из указанных технологий может быть использована в социальных целях (выходящих за пределы биомедицины). Обозначены пробелы в надлежащем правовом регулировании, которые характерны для российского законодательства. Проведено сравнительно-правовое исследование, на основе которого сформулированы общие рекомендации по совершенствованию российских правовых актов.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>CRISPR/Cas9</kwd><kwd>legal regulation</kwd><kwd>neurolaw</kwd><kwd>ectogenesis</kwd><kwd>DNA</kwd><kwd>genomic technologies</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>CRISPR/Cas9</kwd><kwd>правовое регулирование</kwd><kwd>нейроправо</kwd><kwd>эктогенез</kwd><kwd>ДНК</kwd><kwd>геномные технологии</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><award-group><funding-source><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="ru">Исследование выполнено при финансовой поддержке Российского научного фонда в рамках научного проекта № 24-28-00365, https://rscf.ru/project/24-28-00365/</institution></institution-wrap><institution-wrap><institution xml:lang="en">The study was financially supported by a grant from the Russian Science Foundation, project No. 24-28-00365, https://rscf.ru/project/24-28-00365/</institution></institution-wrap></funding-source></award-group></funding-group></article-meta><fn-group/></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Bard, J. &amp; Soderqvist, A.
