Abstract:
Despite widespread agreement on the need for public participation in genome editing governance, questions remain about how best to structure citizen deliberation such that it can better inform policymaking. Representative and transformative conversations are not necessarily enabled by random sampling. Reflecting on lessons learned from recent citizens' juries and assemblies, in this essay I identify group-building, skilling up, recruiting invested participants, and over-sampling of marginal discourses as strategies to advance the contribution of citizen deliberation to a global deliberative system for human heritable genome editing governance.
