The Science and Ethics of Genetic Engineering that fears about the consolidation of power by a few agrochemical companies over farmers is a main argument against new genetic engineering technology in agriculture: "At its extreme, this fear belongs to the conspiracy-theory genre and, to caricature somewhat, envisages powerless farmers forced to ...
[94] In 2017, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine published a report "Human Genome Editing: Science, Ethics and Governance" that endorsed germline gene editing in "the absence of reasonable alternatives" of disease management and to "improve IVF procedures and embryo implantation rates and reduce rates of miscarriage."
Some believe it is unethical to patent genetic material because it treats life as a commodity, or that it undermines the dignity of people and animals by allowing ownership of genes. [26] Some say that living materials occur naturally, and therefore cannot be patented. [27]
In bioethics, the ethics of cloning concerns the ethical positions on the practice and possibilities of cloning, especially of humans. While many of these views are religious in origin, some of the questions raised are faced by secular perspectives as well. Perspectives on human cloning are theoretical, as human therapeutic and reproductive ...
Colossal scientists have been able to make 300 genetic edits into a cell line of a fat-tailed dunnart, which is the marsupial that Colossal has chosen as its base species and future surrogate.
Human germline engineering (HGE) is the process by which the genome of an individual is modified in such a way that the change is heritable. This is achieved by altering the genes of the germ cells, which mature into eggs and sperm.
(Reuters) -The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Monday that aims to restrict business with China's WuXi AppTec, BGI and several other biotech companies on national security grounds ...
CRG was the first organization to advance a comprehensive, scientifically based position against human germline engineering. [3] It was also the first to compile documented cases of genetic discrimination, laying the intellectual groundwork for the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008 (GINA). [1]
