INTRODUCTION AND ORIGINS OF THE REPORT -- THE STATE OF THE SCIENCE -- POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS OF HERITABLE HUMAN GENOME EDITING -- A TRANSLATIONAL PATHWAY TO LIMITED AND CONTROLLED CLINICAL APPLICATIONS OF HERITABLE HUMAN GENOME EDITING -- NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL GOVERNANCE OF HERITABLE HUMAN GENOME EDITING

Summary: Heritable human genome editing - making changes to the genetic material of eggs, sperm, or any cells that lead to their development, including the cells of early embryos, and establishing a pregnancy - raises not only scientific and medical considerations but also a host of ethical, moral, and societal issues. Human embryos whose genomes have been edited should not be used to create a pregnancy until it is established that precise genomic changes can be made reliably and without introducing undesired changes - criteria that have not yet been met, says Heritable Human Genome Editing.
