The use of embryonic genome editing tools is often touted as a way to ensure the birth of healthy and genetically related children. Many would agree that this is a worthy goal. Yet the purpose of this article is to argue that, if we are concerned with justice, accepting such a goal as morally appropriate commits one to rejecting the use of social resources for further development of embryo editing for reproductive purposes. This is so because there are safer and more effective means that can allow many more prospective parents to achieve the same valued goal and that can offer additional benefits.
胚胎基因组编辑工具的使用常被吹捧为确保健康和遗传相关儿童出生的一种方式。许多人会同意这是一个有价值的目标。然而，本文的目的是论证，如果我们关心正义，那么将这一目标视为在道德上是恰当的，就会促使人们拒绝为生殖目的进一步开发胚胎编辑而使用社会资源。这是因为有更安全、更有效的方法可以让更多的准父母实现同样有价值的目标，并提供额外的好处。
