Rapid advances in molecular biotechnology methods are dramatically enhancing the capability for editing the genomes of higher organisms, including humans, with exquisite specificity. The power of these methods is raising tremendous promise for valuable medical applications, and at the same time raising serious ethical concerns about potential misuse. This event is intended to offer information on these new and developing methods and facilitate discussion of relevant issues.
