Abstract Background Forward-looking, democratically oriented governance is needed to ensure that human genome editing serves rather than undercuts public values. Scientific, policy, and ethics communities have recognized this necessity but demonstrated limited understanding of how fulfill it. The field bioethics has long attempted grapple with the unintended consequences emerging technologies, too often such foresight lacked adequate scientific grounding, overemphasized regulation exclusion...
This paper explores the notions of hope and how individual patient autonomy can trump carefully reasoned ethical concerns policies intended to regulate stem cell transplants. We argue that same limits knowledge inform arguments restrain unproven treatments might also undermine our ability comprehensively dismiss or condemn them. Incautiously indiscriminately attitudes may drive critical information data underground, impel patients away from working with clinical researchers, tread needlessly...
Summary Geron Corporation is a publically traded company that launched phase I clinical trial of human embryonic stem cell-based therapy for spinal cord injury. The enrolled the first patient in October 2010 and stopped 1 year later. fifth had been but not transplanted when announced trial's end. After discussions with staff family, an agreement was reached to add her cohort proceed transplant. Two half years later, research still waiting restart. With this background mind, we discuss major...
In response to calls for public engagement on human genome editing (HGE), which intensified after the 2018 He Jiankui scandal that resulted in implantation of genetically modified embryos, we detail an anticipatory approach governance HGE. By soliciting multidisciplinary experts' input drivers and uncertainties HGE development, developed a set plausible future scenarios ascertain publics values-specifically, their hopes concerns regarding novel technology its applications. turn, gathered...
Technology transfer offices are ubiquitous institutions within American universities. Most underfunded and understaffed, will never turn a profit, drain limited university resources potentially hinder innovation knowledge transfer. Yet, inexplicably, new continue to be established. This article suggests that the continued hype over rare but lucrative blockbuster patents fuels much of this unnecessary expansion. These offices, essentially mandated discover next big one, tend make poor...
