A framework for open discourse on the use of CRISPR-Cas9 technology to manipulate human genome is urgently needed
R. Alta Charo writes that access to the HPV vaccines has already become more a political than public health question. Though important focus might be on high cost of vaccines, concern focused instead purported interference in family life and sexual mores. Professor discusses legal, political, ethical, financial considerations surrounding mandating vaccination United States. is professor law bioethics at University Wisconsin, Madison.
Interview with Professor R. Alta Charo on "conscience clauses" and the refusal to deliver medical care. (07:03)Download Apparently heeding George Washington's call "labor keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience," physicians, nurses, pharmacists are increasingly claiming a right autonomy not only refuse provide services they find objectionable, but even refer patients another provider and, more recently, inform them existence legal options for...
Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are valuable for biomedicine, but differing cultural, political, legal, and religious perspectives potential barriers to international collaboration in this fledgling field. Recognizing the need scientists act transparently, serve public interest, preserve trust, International Society Stem Cell Research (ISSCR) convened a task force formulate guidelines human ES cell research. The ISSCR were written by scientists, ethicists, legal experts from 14 countries (1).
The genome editing platforms currently in use have revolutionized the field of genetics. At an accelerating rate, these tools are entering areas with direct impact on human well being. Here, we discuss applications agriculture and medicine, examine some associated societal issues.
Interview with R. Alta Charo on ownership and research use of human tissue.

This essay focuses on possible nonhuman applications of CRISPR/Cas9 that are likely to be widely overlooked because they unexpected and, in some cases, perhaps even "frivolous." We look at five uses for "CRISPR Critters": wild de-extinction, domestic personal whim, art, and novel forms disease prevention. then discuss the current regulatory framework its limitations those contexts. end with questions about deeper issues raised by increased human control over life earth offered genome editing.
Interview with Dr. George Daley on the prospects for using genome editing to prevent genetic diseases. (10:11)Download Calling a moratorium germline won't stop rogue actors. Instead, an "ecosystem" approach regulation might minimize premature, unwarranted, or dangerous research and complement efforts develop consensus about acceptable unacceptable uses.
Interview with Prof. R. Alta Charo on recent advances in gene editing and concerns about medical tourism. (11:24)Download Many desperate patients have left the United States seeking unproven risky stem-cell interventions available countries less rigorous regulation. How can we keep from triggering a new wave of tourism?
THE WITHDRAWAL OF ROFECOXIB IN SEPTEMBER 2004 and the reports of health risks associated with several other drugs have raised questions about integrity US drug safety system. In response, at request Center for Drug Evaluation Research Food Administration (FDA), Institute Medicine (IOM) issued a comprehensive review set recommendations reforms. The FDA has taken unusual step providing detailed, public response. FDA’s new initiatives its responsiveness to IOM report represent incremental...
By clarifying its position on the handling and therapeutic use of human cell–based products, FDA has signaled intention to regulate a broad swath highly manipulated cellular materials as biologic drugs. This move is welcome, but more remains be done.

The duty of care is a fundamental principle medicine that should be at the heart debate surrounding Planned Parenthood and fetal tissue research. And includes taking advantage avenues hope for current future patients.
Engineering biology is being applied toward solving or mitigating some of the greatest challenges facing society. As with many other rapidly advancing technologies, development these powerful tools must be considered in context ethical uses for personal, societal, and/or environmental advancement. Researchers have a responsibility to consider diverse outcomes that may result from knowledge and innovation they contribute field. Together, we developed Statement Ethics Biology Research guide...
As the biodiversity crisis accelerates, stakes are higher for threatened plants and animals. Rebuilding health of our planet will require addressing underlying threats at many scales, including habitat loss climate change. Conservation interventions such as protection, management, restoration, predator control, translocation, genetic rescue, biological control have potential to help or endangered species avert extinction. These existing, well-tested methods can be complemented augmented by...
