• Resumen

  • The most controversial type of gene editing has got the cautious nod of approval. Far from calling for a ban on the technique to alter human embryos, an international summit has effectively endorsed the idea. While it is too soon to try it out, basic research should be allowed, alongside a debate on how we should use the technology. This puts us on a path that could see germilne gene editing happening in people in some countries lust decades from now.
