Abstract

Human germline editing refers to the process of making changes to the genetic material of human embryos, eggs, or sperm cells, which can then be passed on to future generations. It is a highly controversial and ethically complex field of research. The ability to precisely and easily alter the DNA sequences of living things has been made possible by new biochemical techniques. The potential of these new tools to deepen our understanding of biology, change the genomes of microorganisms, plants, and animals, and treat human diseases has caused enormous enthusiasm in the scientific and medical communities. They have also sparked important discussions about how people might decide to change future generations' genomes as well as their own. This chapter focus on the human germline editing with reconciling scientific progress with rogues and legal framework global observatory and its inherent conundrums.
