The ethics of genome editing in the clinic: a dose of realism for healthcare leaders
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-19, 09:31 authored by Bubela, T, Mansour, Y, Dianne NicolDianne NicolGenome editing technologies promise therapeutic advances for genetic diseases. We discuss the ethical and societal issues raised by these technologies, including their use in preclinical research, their potential to address mutations in somatic cells, and their potential to make germ line alterations that may be passed to subsequent generations. We call for a proportionate response from health leaders based on a realistic assessment of benefits, risks, and timelines for clinical translation.
