On December 1, scientists at the Center for Genetics and Society issued a report calling on heads of state to issue a ban on gene editing technology, warning that this technology is a landslide paradox that will lead to "customization" baby".
According to the British "Daily Mail" website, the concept of "genetically modified people" seems to only appear in the film, but scientists at the Center for Gene and Society warned that genetic editing technology may soon become popular, leading to a result. - Parents will use genetic editing techniques to "optimize" their children.
The engineered genes are inevitably passed on to future generations. The first author of the report, Pete Shanks, a researcher at the Center for Gene and Society, said:
"Once this is the way, we can't go back, so we can't 'cross this line.'"
Scientists say it is dangerous to allow the use of gene editing techniques. Dr. Marcy Darnovsky, executive director of the Center for Gene and Society, said the technology will transform human biology and human society.
Emily Smith Beitiks, deputy director of the Paul K. Longmore School of Disability at San Francisco State University, said the application of genetic editing technology will bring social justice issues. The process of reproduction is artificially controlled, artificially creating genetic characteristics.
The industry has called for: Stop experimenting to change human embryonic genes
In March of this year, several American scientists revealed that they have already begun to secretly complete a lot of research work in the field of changing human embryonic DNA.
In April, Chinese researchers released a report saying that they implemented the genetic modification technology for human embryos for the first time.
This has attracted the attention of scientists. In April and May of this year, scientists from the National Institutes of Health and other departments have called for the cessation of experiments on human embryos.
The National Academies of Sciences is scheduled to organize an international summit in December to discuss gene editing techniques. The report of the Center for Genes and Society was released one day before the summit.
The authors of the report asked heads of state to ban the use of genetic editing techniques and synthetic biotechnology to alter human DNA and prohibit artificial control of reproductive offspring in their respective countries and globally. It is necessary to conduct a broader and deeper discussion on this topic in the future.
Scientists demand that the process of evaluating gene editing techniques be transparent and democratic, and that all scientists and entrepreneurs have a responsibility to regulate this potentially dangerous technology, not just the researchers of the technology.
If you want to see what the “genetically GM†popular society is, you can revisit the old movie “GATTACAâ€.
