Ethics of Genome Editing - 05. Governance and Equal Access


Language: Multilingual, subtitles English

Genome editing is a revolutionary technology that can modify DNA of living organisms rapidly and precisely, inserting favorable characteristics or removing unwanted ones.

The application of this technology to treat some genetic diseases is not a science fiction, but a reality of our near future.

How can we ensure that all human beings benefit equally from new technologies? What are the ethical implications for responsible application of genome editing techniques? Who should regulate technological innovation policies and how?
