PubReading [280] - Ethics assessment in research proposals adopting CRISPR technology - F. Hirsch, R. Iphofen, Z. Koporc

<p>The rapid and exponential growth of <strong>genome editing</strong> has posed many challenges for bioethics. This article briefly explains the nature of the technique and the particularly rapid development of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat <strong>(CRISPR) technology.</strong> The international and, specifically, European-level systems for assessing the ethical issues consequent on these developments are outlined and discussed. The challenges posed by cases in China are summarized to raise concerns about how a more shared, universally consistent appraisal of <strong>bioethical </strong>issues can be promoted.</p><p><a href="https://doi.org/10.11613/BM.2019.020202"><em>https://doi.org/10.11613/BM.2019.020202</em></a><em> - 2019</em></p>
