Human gene editing technology cited strong debate

Entitled "CRISPR-Cas9" gene editing technology can quickly and efficiently modify the human eggs, sperm and embryos, it is also able to change the unborn baby's DNA.
Loyola University Chicago (Loyola University) College dean of Catholic moral theology Shearer · Hakor (Hille Haker) at the meeting opposed the gene editing technology, and support for changes in human germ cells involve the implementation of a scientific study period a two-year international ban.
In Hakor opinion, once made modification of human germ cells, and that this is likely to be passed on to offspring. She said that doing so would violate the freedom of those unborn babies. Because these babies have no chance to express his (her) willingness to agree to change their genetic code.
And Hakor different, University of Manchester (University of Manchester) bioethics professor John Harris strongly supports the "CRISPR-Cas9" gene editing technology.
"We are faced with an inescapable moral responsibility: to continue scientific research until we reach a point of rational choice so far but we have not yet reached this point, in my opinion, to suspend the technology is a wrong choice. , the study of this technique is necessary. "Harris said.
