The ethics of genome editing in the clinic: A dose of realism for healthcare leaders

7 Apr 2017

Abstract excerpt

Genome editing technologies promise therapeutic advances for genetic diseases. We discuss the ethical and societal issues raised by these technologies, including their use in preclinical research, their potential to address mutations in somatic cells, and their potential to make germ line alterations that may be passed to subsequent generations. We call for a proportionate response from health leaders based on a...
