Abstract

A new infrastructure is urgently needed at the global level to facilitate exchange on key issues concerning genome editing. We advocate the establishment of a global observatory to serve as a center for international, interdisciplinary, and cosmopolitan reflection. This article is the second of a two-part series. Keywords: CRISPR; genome editing; bioethics; science policy; science and technology studies; ethics.
