Resumen
SANTALO, Josep. Human genetic enhancement in times of CRISPR/Cas9. Rev. Bioética y Derecho [online]. 2019, n.47, pp.33-41. Epub 16-Dic-2019. ISSN 1886-5887.
Human genetic enhancement has always risen a wide debate regarding the ethical aspects associated with it. This debate had remained into a merely speculative realm until the appearance of a new genome editing technology (CRISPR / Cas9) which has reopened it when a mid-term applicability can be envisaged. This new situation forces us to resume it and ponder the convenience or not of initiating an exceptional path in the history of human evolution. This article details some of the arguments put forward in favour and against this technology.
