In response to these challenges, many research groups have developed ethical guidelines for working with genetic engineering. This is important to ensure safe and responsible practice in the field of genome editing. A “safety first” principle is needed to avoid unintended consequences for human health and the environment.

The development of gene therapy for complex diseases such as cancer raises new questions. More research is needed to understand the long-term implications of genome editing. The public must be involved in the discussion of the future of genetic technologies to take into account different perspectives and concerns.
The results of genetic research promise to change many aspects of our lives. But with great opportunities come great responsibilities. It is necessary to continue to have an open dialogue to find the right way forward in using these amazing scientific advances.
