CRISPR People: The Science and Ethics of Editing Humans

2021-02-16

Abstract excerpt

People have been talking about human germline genome modification for decades, though without necessarily using those words. More than 15 years ago, I reviewed two books about changing a human's DNA in ways that would get into the eggs or sperm and possibly be passed down to future generations, 1 but even then, the debate had been raging for decades. This chapter looks at those discussions up to the disclosure of...
