Human Genome Editing and a Global Socio-bioethics Approach
Abstract:
A global socio-bioethics is called upon to address the ethical challenges arising from the revolutionary gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9, which offers the capability to rewrite the human genome. The ethical inquiry Françoise Baylis has undertaken in the book Altered Inheritance: CRISPR and the Ethics of Human Genome Editing (Harvard University Press, 2019) operates at individual, societal and global levels. Baylis has not only presented insights on how to practice "slow science" and achieve broad societal consensus through empowering the public, but she also shown what a global socio-bioethics approach can offer for the further development of bioethics.
