Project Description
Human, genome editing is a powerful tool for creating precise changes to the genome, the complete set of genetic material. However, human genome editing raises significant ethical, legal, and social challenges, and making policy that can better anticipate and prepare for these challenges is urgently needed. This project will be the first comprehensive empirical study to apply strategies of anticipatory governance to the management and control of human genome editing technologies.
