CRISPR and The Ethics of Gene Editing: A Modest Framework for Discussion

2019-10-12

Abstract excerpt

CRISPR is a powerful new biochemical tool that can be used to edit the DNA of somatic cells or the germline. It can be used for good ends such as the treatment or prevention of illness or disability, or for bad ends. All its uses for good ends can be sorted out into six kinds of cases: editing somatic cells to treat or prevent disease-a therapeutic use; editing somatic cells to enhance a living thing; editing the...
