Thinking the unthinkable: how did human germline genome editing become ethically acceptable?

2021-07-02

Abstract excerpt

Two major reports in the UK and USA have recently sanctioned as ethically acceptable genome editing of future generations for the treatment of serious rare inherited conditions. This marks an important turning point in the application of recombinant DNA techniques to humans. The central question this paper addresses is how did it became possible for human genetic engineering (HGE) of future generations to move fro...
