InstructionsGene Editing Case Study with Human Application
The aim of this module is to facilitate reflection upon the ethics issues associated with the development and use of gene editing in humans.
Learning outcomes
At the end of this module, learners will be able to:
- Identify and analyse the ethics issues and dilemmas associated with an example research proposal.
- Make suggestions for how the ethics issues might be addressed.
- Identify ethics guidelines and policies that are relevant to the proposed research.
Video Transcript
In humans, gene therapy via gene editing is a rapidly growing field of research with many potential benefits for health and wellbeing. It involves the editing of genes to modify or knock out specific genes to achieve desired traits, to correct genetic defects, to treat or prevent disease, or to enhance cellular functions.
In this module we consider an example proposal for a research project that is based upon a real-world study. The study aims to trial gene therapy for Hunter syndrome in a small group of young children. As you work through the module, we invite you to consider the ethics issues that are associated with this type of study from a variety of perspectives as well as how they might be addressed. We begin with some information about the disease.
