Genome editing is a revolutionary technology that can modify DNA of living organisms rapidly and precisely, inserting favorable characteristics or removing unwanted ones.
The application of this technology to treat some genetic diseases is not a science fiction, but a reality of our near future.
How can we ensure that all human beings benefit equally from new technologies? What are the ethical implications for responsible application of genome editing techniques? Who should regulate technological innovation policies and how?
UNESCO is happy to present the fifth of the series of Ethics of Genome Editing “5. Governance and Equal Access” which is available in English, French, Japanese and other language subtitles.
