In 2024, all newborns at KKH were screened, while the national screening rate is 96 per cent. Read more at straitstimes.com.

Scientific organizations recently called for a 10-year ban on human germline editing. But will we ever be ready? And how would we even know?

It’s time to step up the opposition to designer babies, says Marcy Darnovsky of the Center for Genetics and Society ...

“Heritable,” the new short semi-documentary from Belfast-born filmmaker Eli Kao, takes a humorous and satirical look at what that “native Mainer” pride includes – and excludes.

The National Academy of Medicine and National Academy of Sciences say a long-standing taboo on editing human genes could be lifted — even if the changes can be carried through to future generations.

While different from heritable genome editing with CRISPR or other tools in that it does not alter nuclear genes, it is a form of heritable genome modification.

The whether of heritable human genome editing has not been resolved, and yet some scientists continue to race ahead with the how of it, essentially ignoring the myriad calls for public consultation.

We also already have good reason to conclude that heritable genome modification is unacceptably risky and that medical justifications for it are tenuous.

Heritable Doesn't Mean Unchangeable. Actually interpreting what heritability "means" is a much bigger challenge than just estimating it by comparing twins. It doesn't mean that something won't change.

This committee will address methods for heritable genetic modifications and identify risks and health hazards to humans, animals, and the environment. Furthermore, this study will identify challenges ...
