At present it is prohibited. But in theory it is possible to modify the DNA of human embryos.
If you alter the DNA of an embryo, you change the DNA of future generations as well. How can we incorporate the voices of those future generations into the choices we make today? In this interactive dialogue we will engage in a conversation with the future to better understand the decisions we can make today.
Britta van Beers, professor of law, ethics and biotechnology at the VU department of legal theory and legal history, will guide us in ethical and legal opportunities and pitfalls in the future of human germline editing.
Moderation by Eef Grob and also participating is Marianne Lamers, journalist NEMO Kennislink and Marcia van Woensel.
There are 2 DNA-dialogues, on April 14 and April 22. Each with its own approach so feel free to join part 2 without having participated in part 1.
Everyone can participate, no legal expertise required.
