are there any global frameworks for heritable human genome editing?

1 answer

Yes, there are several global frameworks in place for regulating and governing heritable human genome editing. Some of the most notable include the World Health Organization's Expert Advisory Committee on Developing Global Standards for Governance and Oversight of Human Genome Editing, the International Commission on the Clinical Use of Human Germline Genome Editing, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's Principles and Guidelines for Human Germline Editing. Additionally, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) also has guidelines and recommendations for the ethical and legal aspects of genome editing.
