Hot Topics in Research Ethics - Dr. Kazuto Kato

There have been intensive debates and discussions about human genome editing globally, one of which includes strengthening the governance of the technology across the world including the low- and mid- income countries. In July 2021, the WHO Expert Advisory Committee on Developing Global Standards for Governance and Oversight of Human Genome Editing
published two reports, “A framework for governance” and “Recommendations” which emphasized on the importance of a more inclusive approach as well as solidarity, equity, and global justice. Implementing such principles and recommendations is the next challenge for the global community.
