This article assesses the role of an important Russian public institution, the Russian Orthodox Church (ROC), in shaping the religious discourse on bioethics in Russia. An important step in this process was the approval of 'The Basis of the Social Concept of the Russian Orthodox Church' (2000), one chapter of which is devoted to bioethics. However, certain inadequacies in the creation of this document resulted in the absence of a clear position of the Russian Orthodox Church on some end-of-life issues, reproductive technologies, embryo stem cells, and other topics.Using the example of reproductive dilemmas, the author researches how the ROC clarifies its teaching on issues relating to bioethics. In the 2010s the ROC introduced a new method of taking into account the views of believers and the articulation of the church's position. This article examines the extensive public discussion of a new document, 'Ethical issues Associated with In Vitro Fertilization'.
本文评估了俄罗斯一个重要的公共机构——俄罗斯东正教会（ROC）在塑造俄罗斯生物伦理宗教话语方面的作用。这一过程中的一个重要步骤是《俄罗斯东正教会社会概念基础》（2000年）的获批，其中一章专门论述生物伦理。然而，该文件制定过程中的某些不足之处导致俄罗斯东正教会在一些临终问题、生殖技术、胚胎干细胞及其他议题上缺乏明确立场。作者以生殖困境为例，研究俄罗斯东正教会如何阐明其在生物伦理相关问题上的教义。在21世纪10年代，俄罗斯东正教会引入了一种考虑信徒观点并阐明教会立场的新方法。本文审视了对一份新文件《体外受精相关伦理问题》的广泛公众讨论。
