Title: Making the cut? Scientific Possibilities and ELSI Challenges in
Genome-Editing
Editors:Dr Oliver Feeney (National University of Ireland (Galway),
Ireland), Dr Brgida Riso (ISCTE-University Institute of Lisbon,
Portugal), Professor Vojin Rakic (University of Belgrade, Serbia)
Since 2012, the dramatically increased potential of genome editing
techniques (particularly CRISPR-Cas9) in human therapeutics has created
headlines, enthusiasm and concern in genetic research not seen since the
mapping of the human genome at the turn of the century. It could be
suggested that the recent developments in genome editing do not bring
entirely new ethical, social and legal issues to the fore. Rather, it
brings us to a point where many of these theoretical reflections are
becoming (potentially) applicable and therefore can have a greater role
to play in policy decisions, which will affect the emerging governance
of new genome editing developments.
In order to help move forward a responsible debate on the issue of
genome-editing with a focus on human applications and to foster a
discussion that is critically reflective on existing responses from
academia, policy-makers, business and the media, this collection will
bring together a multidisciplinary collection of key perspectives,
charged with three key tasks. Firstly, a key task is to contribute to
the question of how to evaluate and guide current and imminent
developments in genome editing. Secondly, a closely related task is to
contribute to reviewing the existing theoretical literature on the
ethical, legal and social considerations of genetic interventions on
human beings that has developed over the past number of decades, in
order to ascertain their suitability for contemporary genome editing
evaluation and guidance. The third task aims to develop a robust
framework for future discussions and evaluations on genome editing
developments and to contribute toward a responsible governance framework
for scientists, biotech companies and public research institutions in
Europe, and beyond, as well as improving the discourse between key
stakeholders, including scientists, clinicians, bioethicists,
policy-makers and the wider society.
We invite papers, both empirical and theoretical, from a wide range of
disciplines, including, but not restricted to, philosophy, ethics, law,
medical humanities, politics and social sciences, that:
Evaluate current and/or imminent developments in genome editing with
regard to human interventions or non-human interventions with clear
consequences for human well-being.
Contribute to reviewing the existing theoretical literature on the
ethical, legal and social considerations of such interventions.
Contribute to discussion of the adaptability of the previous
literature and framework to the contemporary genome-editing scene.
Map and compare the speculation involving genome editing to the
effective and concrete developments achieved so far.
Develop a robust framework for future discussions and evaluations on
genome editing developments and to contribute toward a responsible
governance framework for scientists, biotech companies and public
research institutions in Europe, and beyond.
Contribute to public engagement strategies on improving the
discourse between key stakeholders, including scientists,
clinicians, bioethicists, policy-makers and the wider society.
To register interest prospective authors should submit a short article
proposal (abstract summary) to the Editorial Officein the first
instance. Full submissions can be submitted any time up until the end of
July 2019.
