Gene Editing, Law, and the Environment by Irus Braverman

Gene Editing, Law, and the Environment by Irus Braverman

This book considers the existing scientific, legal, and political regulatory regimes that pertain to gene editing. By exploring such a range of potential applications of gene editing - not only biomedical, but also agricultural and ecological - the book reveals numerous crossovers and disjunctions between approaches to the human and the nonhuman.

Braverman and the impressive group of authors she assembled lead us through provocative research at the frontiers of biotechnologyThis cutting-edge collection is sure to stimulate urgent conversations at the intersection of science and society, which are much needed at this time of awesome and challenging discoveries.

With this heady mix of essays by prominent authors from multiple disciplines, editor Irus Braverman accomplishes the nearly impossible: she orchestrates a real-time "constitutional conversation" on the future of the human, as rapidly evolving biological techniques seem to empower humanity to control its own evolution.

Braverman's superb volume on gene editing provides thought-provoking, broad perspectives from some of the most significant scholars, scientists, ethicists, and environmentalists in their fields. Given the imminence of the dispersal of new gene editing technologies like CRISPR, this masterful collection of probing essays is both timely and important. Braverman's eye for structure, voice, and perspective sets the stage for some of the most difficult legal and ethical issues of gene editing that society will be debating for years to come.
