A critical review of the ethical and legal issues in human germline gene editing: Considering human rights and a call for an African perspective

2020-07-07

Abstract excerpt

In the wake of the advent of genome editing technology CRISPR-Cas9, there has been a global debate around the implications of manipulating the human genome. While CRISPR-based germline gene editing is new, the debate about the ethics of gene editing is not – for several decades now, scholars have debated the ethics of making heritable changes to the human genome. The arguments that have been raised both for and ag...
