Contents:

Oversight of human genome editing and overarching principles for governance -- Basic research using genome editing -- Somatic genome editing -- Heritable genome editing -- Enhancement -- Public engagement -- Summary of principles and recommendations.

Summary: Genome editing is a powerful new tool for making precise alterations to an organism's genetic material. Recent scientific advances have made genome editing more efficient, precise, and flexible than ever before. These advances have spurred an explosion of interest from around the globe in the possible ways in which genome editing can improve human health. The speed at which these technologies are being developed and applied has led many policymakers and stakeholders to express concern about whether appropriate systems are in place to govern these technologies and how and when the public should be engaged in these decisions.
