Abstract

Recent reporting found that a number of scientists internationally knew about the experiment resulting in the birth of the first gene-edited babies well before the news broke. Because scientists have a responsibility to reveal such activities, an international governance mechanism for reporting unethical gene editing experiments should be established.

摘要

最近的报道发现，在首例基因编辑婴儿的消息公布之前，国际上有许多科学家已经知道了导致这一实验的情况。由于科学家有责任披露此类活动，因此应该建立一个国际治理机制来报告不道德的基因编辑实验。
