Abstract

One of the new issues in the field of medical fertility is the use of molecular biotechnology in the correction of genetic diseases by artificial insemination of two different eggs in which the defective egg nucleus is isolated and implanted in the cytoplasm of an egg taken from another woman. It is then inoculated with male sperm. In this research, which is done by inferential method, the reasons that may be presented to prove the sanctity and prohibition of genetic interventions are reviewed and then by determining the reference principle and explaining the reasons for the legitimacy of treatment, explaining the jurisprudential criteria and rules of grammar. Genetics deals with the repair of eggs in the process of human reproduction, and it becomes clear that, according to the first principle, genetic modification is not in itself an obstacle if it is intended to correct physical defects or cure disease.
And any genetic engineering or operation that poses a risk of possible birth defects or defective changes in human existence will not be permissible.
