Description
us at least 4 quotes from Dalai Lamas article and us NY Times article https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/health/crispr-gene-editing-embryos.html and to have two quotes from the NY times article. In this essay, you are charged with answering any or all of these questions:
What will ultimately and sufficiently regulate innovative and literally life-changing technology so that, as DL warns, we can avoid a “potential catastrophe for all humankind?” Are laws enough? (*Gene editing was not illegal in China at the time of He Jianku’s CRISPR editing of Lulu and Nana. )
Will it be the comprehensive yet somewhat subjective list of ethical principles DL offers in his essay? What, if anything, is missing from that list, in your opinion?
Are global laws needed for editing the human genome? If so, how could they be ensured, as countries have their own laws and regulations to abide?
Many would argue that the benefits of science should have no limits. What do you think? Jiangsu lost his position but there are others in Russia who are eager to edit more embryos.
As we saw with Yoshino/Hallward/King, laws do not necessarily ensure moral action; in fact, Yoshino suggested that laws are limiting to our human civility. In essence, they can only bring us to a certain point.
