New research tools such as CRISPR-Cas9 have made it possible to modify the human
germline, and the ethics of such technological possibilities have stirred heated controversy …

The Human Genome Project has triggered a technological revolution that has influenced
nearly every field of medicine, including reproductive medicine, obstetrics, gynecology …

Focusing on present‐day possibilities raised by existing technology, I consider the
normative aspects of genetically modifying the human germline from a utilitarian standpoint …

Although germline editing has been the subject of debate ever since the 1980s, it tended to
be based rather on speculative assumptions until April 2015, when CRISPR/Cas9 …

Two genetic technologies capable of making heritable changes to the human genome have
revived interest in, and in some quarters a very familiar panic concerning, so-called germline …

In this dissertation the question addressed is the ethical protocol that should be used when
enhanced, post or transhumans present themselves as patients to hospitals, or as subjects …

CRISPR challenges the red line of ethics in reproductive research: inheritable genetic
modification. The arguments of proponents in this issue is at times based on outdated …
