The advent of the CRISPR/Cas9 class of genome editing tools is
transforming not just science and medicine, but also law. When the
genome of germline cells is modified, the modifications could be
inherited, with far-reaching effects in time and scale. Legal
systems are struggling with keeping up with the CRISPR revolution
and both lawyers and scientists are often confused about existing
regulations. This book contains an analysis of the national
regulatory framework in eighteen selected countries. Written by
national legal experts, it includes all major players in
bioengineering, plus an analysis of the emerging international
standards and a discussion of how international human rights
standards should inform national and international regulatory
frameworks. The authors propose a set of principles for the
regulation of germline engineering, based on international human
rights law, that can be the foundation for regulating heritable
gene editing both at the level of countries as well as globally.
