Today’s Gene Editing Choices: Inclusion and Diversity

The pace of developments in genetic editing over the past two years seems fast and accelerating. What are those developments, the tough choice decisions and accompanying infrastructure that are needed to support researchers, clinicians, and ethics committee members? It may seem trite but is the key to success here better listening, inclusion of voices, and honoring the need for diversity in the human genome itself? Our guests today discussing these issues are three international experts: Damon Hostin, Fr. Kevin FitzGerald, and Michael Burgess.
