"Genome Editing and the Law Around the World" by Judit Sandor

April 17, 2019

Judit Sandor guest-edited the March issue of the Newsletter of World Association For Medical Law.

She raises thought-provoking questions, as "those who have so far protected life from the moment of conception or fertilization, now need to support the intervention of genome editing if they want to keep their position consistent—as this technology may soon give life to those embryos that had no chance for survival before."
