See the great report on Human genome editing by @GeNetzwerk, from a feminist and anti-eugenic perspective. "The regulation of research into and use of heritable genome editing must ... be an international issue" gen-ethisches-netzwerk.de/HHGE
With more indications than ever that scientists can’t be trusted on heritable gene editing, public discussion is needed to consider proposals for a moratorium or a complete ban. 3/3 progressive.org/op-eds/scienti…
Despite more evidence of the risks of heritable genome editing and of public disapproval of the technique, some scientists continue to forge ahead with heritable genome editing efforts, made all the more risky through the use of AI. 2/3
Five years ago, the world learned that Chinese scientist He Jiankui had created the first children whose DNA had been tailored using gene editing before they were born—–a discovery that shocked and horrified the global scientific community. 1/3
An excellent piece from @GMWatch on the last #HGESummit. #stopdesignerbabies #GMO #eugenics #CRISPR #geneediting #HHGE
Human genome editing summit haunted by spectre of eugenics gmwatch.org/en/106-news/la…
The Closing Statement from the Third International Summit acknowledges the importance of paying attention to the “whether” (not just the “how”) of heritable genome editing. @FrancoiseBaylis impactethics.ca/2023/03/22/hum…

Thank you @gracefbrowne @WIRED to report on our protest at the #HGESummit and confirm that Human Genetic Modification is not a given. It can (and should) still be refused. #stopdesignerbabies #GMO #eugenics #CRISPR #geneediting #HHGE wired.com/story/crispr-b…
An important Declaration. We support the existing strong international consensus against genetic modification of human beings. Thank you @GenEngNetwork @biorespect @asso_sc @C_G_S @Stop_D_B @GeNetzwerk
Of course we signed the 2023 Declaration Against Legalisation of Human Genetic Modification. A recent interview with @Jack_Heinemann sheds further light on why absolute precaution is necessary. It's to do with scalability... psgr.org.nz/pub-res/submis…
Can all confirm that conversation around HHGE is about WHETHER it should be used, and that you'll accept the possible conclusion that it should NOT? #HGESummit @JavierHGuzmanC @ewanbirney @G_Q_Daley @DariaJulkowska @juliemakani @NaldiniLab @CorOosterwijk @lily_paemka @Mayanazatz
Despite efforts to convince us so, heritable genome editing is not inevitable. More groups and broader coalitions than ever before are working to oppose heritable genome editing. Hear directly from those who oppose it in our recent symposium: geneticsandsociety.org/internal-conte…
Dr. D. King from @Stop_D_B, in npr, on the #HGESummit: "The approach taken by the organizers of the summit is an extreme case of scientific irresponsibility, and an unwillingness to accept that society has any right to set ethical limits upon science" tinyurl.com/sdbnpr
Thanks to Pr @FrancoiseBaylis for confirming that according to the final statement of the #HGEsummit, HHGE is only a possibility and can STILL be refused. Let's hope all the other members of the Organising Committee will react along the same line.

6/ This is important. If no one is ready to accept the possible conclusion that HHGE should NOT be used, then this process of science summits and public engagement like @ArrigeOrg @GlobalCitzAssem @WeAreSama @GenomeObserv is useless, because it means the decision is already taken

1/ Yesterday at the last panel of #HGESummit @TheCrick chaired by R. Lovell-Badge, for the first time in all the sessions of the summit the most popular question on Slido was not asked to the panel.
Some high-profile scientists are eager to make heritable genome editing legal. Here are 5 reasons to oppose it:
