Comparative Legal Frameworks For Pre-implantation Embryonic Genetic Intervention - Pin Lean Lau

This Book Discusses The Possibilities For The Use Ofnbsp;internationalnbsp;human Rights Lawnbsp;(and Specifically, International Biomedical Laws Related To The Protection Of Human Rights And The Human Genome) To Provide A Guiding Framework For The Future Regulation Of Genetic Modifications Applied To Human Embryos And Other Precursor Materials, When These Are Made With The Aim Of Implanting A Genetically Altered Embryo In A Woman. The Significance And Timeliness Of The Work Derives From Thenbsp;recentnbsp;availability Of Crisprcas9 And Other Gene Editing Tools, And From Lacunae In International Law Regarding The Legality Of Embryo Modification With These Tools And Appropriate Governance Structures For The Oversight Of Resulting Practices. The Emergence Ofnbsp;improvednbsp;genome Editing Tools Like Crisprcas9, Holds The Promise Of Eradicating Genetic Diseases In The Near Future.
