One small edit for humans, one giant edit for humankind? Points and questions to consider for a responsible way forward for gene editing in humans

30 Nov 2017

Abstract excerpt

Gene editing, which allows for specific location(s) in the genome to be targeted and altered by deleting, adding or substituting nucleotides, is currently the subject of important academic and policy discussions. With the advent of efficient tools, such as CRISPR-Cas9, the plausibility of using gene editing safely in humans for either somatic or germ line gene editing is being considered seriously. Beyond safety...
