PDF-(BOOK)-Human Flourishing in an Age of Gene Editing

International uproar followed the recent announcement of the birth of twin girls whose genomes had been edited with a breakthrough DNA editingtechnology This technology called clustered regularly interspaced short palindrome repeats or CRISPRCas9 can alter any DNA including DNA in embryos meaning that changes can be passed to the offspring of the person that embryo becomesShould we use gene editing technologies to change ourselves our children and future generations to come The potential uses of CRISPRCas9 and other gene editing technologies are unprecedented in human history By using these technologies we eradicate certain dreadful diseases Altering human DNA however raises enormously difficult questions Some of these questions are about safety Can these technologies be deployed without posing an unreasonable risk of physical harm to current and future generations Can all physical risks be adequately assessed and responsibly managed But gene editing technologies also raise other moral questions which touch on deeply held personal cultural and societal values Might such technologies redefine what it means to be healthy or normal or cherished Might they undermine relationships between parents and children or exacerbate the gap between the haves and havenots The broadest form of this second kind of question is the focus of this book What might gene editing and related technologies mean for human flourishingRUNNING TIME 12hrs and 51mins2019 Oxford University Press P2020 TantorIn the new essays collected here an interdisciplinary group of scholars asks age old questions about the nature and wellbeing of humans in the context of a revolutionary new biotechnologyone that has the potential to change the genetic makeup of both existing people and future generations Welcoming readers who study related issues and those not yet familiar with the formal study of bioethics the authors of these essays open up a conversation about the ethics of gene editing It is through this conversation that citizens can influence laws and the distribution of funding for science and medicine that professional leaders can shape understanding and use of gene editing and related technologies by scientists patients and practitioners and that individuals can make decisions about their own lives and the lives of their families.
