The article is devoted to the study of the legal nature and content of reproductive rights as a component of somatic human rights. The place of reproductive rights in the system of personal non-property rights is analyzed, and the features of legal regulation of assisted reproductive technologies in Ukraine are examined. It is determined that reproductive rights have a complex nature and cover a wide range of rights related to the implementation of human reproductive function, including both positive rights (the right to artificial insemination, the use of assisted reproductive technologies) and negative rights (the right to sterilization, artificial termination of pregnancy). The absence of a comprehensive regulatory act that would systematically regulate the issue of reproductive rights in Ukraine has been established. The necessity of developing a concept of reproductive rights that would take into account the interests of the state and the nation as a whole and would consolidate the mechanisms of constitutional protection and exercise of reproductive rights is substantiated.
