In May 2014, a New Zealand court rendered the first judicial opinion in the world about the legal classification of gene-editing techniques. The court ruled that ZFN-1 and TALEs are techniques of genetic modification and thus within the New Zealand statute and regulations governing genetically modified organisms. This article explains the facts of this legal matter, the reasoning of the court, and provides commentary about the implications of this decision for New Zealand and other jurisdictions around the world.
2014 年 5 月，新西兰一家法院做出了全球首例关于基因编辑技术法律分类的司法裁定。法院裁定 ZFN-1 和 TALEs 是基因修饰技术，因此受新西兰管理转基因生物的法规管辖。本文介绍了这一法律事件的事实、法院的推理，并对这一决定对新西兰和世界各地其他司法管辖区的影响进行了评论。
