What have scientists approved in a high-level meeting?
A panel formed by the U.S. National Academy of Science (NAS) and the National Academy of Medicine in Washington, D.C. has permitted editing of the DNA of a human embryo, but only to prevent a disease.
In an earlier meeting held by NAS, scientists and ethicists had opined that it is irresponsible to use the technology on human embryos until safety and efficiency issues are resolved.
The debate started in April 2015 when Chinese researchers claimed that they had used CRISPR technology to repair a disease-causing gene in the human embryo.
Some researchers are happy with the approval for gene-editing because it is in line with the earlier conclusions that it is possible for researchers to create a baby by altering the DNA of human eggs, sperm, or early embryos, known as germline editing.
However, we are far from having any super-babies. UNESCO and its member states are bound by the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, a resolution passed in 2005 to confirm that any fundamental changes to the human genome through artificial means goes against humanity. Consequently, editing of the human embryo is banned in most countries.
