This paper examines ethical objections to human germ-line genetic engineering, including consent and risks. It argues against a complete ban, proposing guidelines for acceptable genetic modifications.

Area of Science:

  • Bioethics
  • Human Genetics
  • Genetic Engineering

Background:

  • Ethical concerns regarding human germ-line genetic engineering often center on consent and potential risks.
  • Objections include imposing risks without consent and paternalistically conferring benefits.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate objections to human germ-line genetic engineering.
  • To propose criteria for acceptable germ-line genetic modifications.

Main Methods:

  • Ethical analysis of objections related to consent, risk, and paternalism.
  • Argumentation for conditional acceptance of germ-line engineering.

Main Results:

  • A complete prohibition on human germ-line genetic engineering is rejected.

  • Acceptable germ-line engineering should expand choices and preserve 'human nature'.

    • Conclusions:

    • Human germ-line genetic engineering can be ethically permissible under specific conditions.
    • Guidelines focus on enhancing individual autonomy and avoiding fundamental alterations to human nature.
