As public interest advocates, policy experts, bioethicists, and scientists, we call for a course correction in public discussions about heritable human genome editing. Clarifying misrepresentations, centering societal consequences and concerns, and fostering public empowerment will support robust, global public engagement and meaningful deliberation about altering the genes of future generations.
作为公众利益的倡导者、政策专家、生物伦理学家和科学家,我们呼吁在关于可遗传人类基因组编辑的公众讨论中进行路线修正。澄清错误的观点,关注社会后果和关切,并促进公众赋权,将有助于全球公众对改变后代基因进行强有力的参与和有意义的审议。
