Ethical & Social Implications of Gene Editing

Gene editing technologies like CRISPR-Cas9 offer tremendous promise in advancing medical science, agriculture, and biotechnology. However, they also raise significant ethical and social concerns. The ability to manipulate genes opens the door to potential misuse, including designer babies, genetic discrimination, and unintended ecological consequences. Ethical questions surround the alteration of the human germline, as it could have far-reaching and unpredictable effects on future generations. Additionally, issues of equitable access to gene editing therapies and the potential for genetic enhancement exacerbate existing societal inequalities. Striking a balance between the benefits of gene editing and the need for responsible, equitable, and transparent governance is crucial in navigating this rapidly advancing field.
