It is noted that the XXI century has become revolutionary for biomedical sciences, completely new methods and technologies have been developed in bioengineering, synthetic biology, molecular genetics. To solve a bioethical problem, for example, gene editing, it is necessary to determine the problem of the essence of a person, because the embryo does not have a generally accepted status in the world.
