In this episode of "We Love Science," hosts Shekerah and Fatu delve into the safety and ethical considerations surrounding CRISPR gene editing technology. Joined by special guest, Irina Gostimskaya, we explore the complexities and implications of advances in biomedical technology, including the use of CRISPR in humans.
The main purpose of ethical guidelines in biomedicine is to protect patients and ensure responsible scientific conduct. Past abuses of biomedical technology including inhumane medical experiments set the stage for modern bioethics. Key moments that shaped current ethical guidelines include: the 1947 Nuremberg Code developed after the trial of Nazi doctors, and the 1978 Belmont Report issued in response to an unethical Syphilis study conducted on African American men.
Throughout the decades, groundbreaking advancements in biotechnology have compelled the scientific community to unite in discussion to create new guidelines for their responsible and ethical use. The advent of CRISPR genetic engineering has been met with the same commitment to responsible application of the technology and ethical biomedical conduct.
Tune in to learn about:
· Historical context of Bioethics
· Safety concerns with DNA manipulation
· CRISPR-specific safety issues
· Ethical challenges with CRISPR gene editing
· The CRISPR babies scandal
Catch up on the previous CRISPR episodes:
· Ep 35: The first CRISPR Chronicles episode: How CRISPR gene therapy is bringing hope to the world
· Ep 38: A foundational discussion explaining the secret behind CRISPR gene therapy
· Ep 41: A look into the ups and downs of how the CRISPR saga developed
· Ep 47: The CRISPR Cure for Sickle Cell Disease
· Ep 50: CRISPR clinical trials
