Abstract

Mara Almeida*

Genome editing technologies, with their power to modify DNA, offer unprecedented opportunities for scientific discovery and therapeutic interventions. This abstract examines the ethical dimensions of genome editing, emphasizing the delicate balance between the potential benefits and ethical responsibilities. It delves into topics such as CRISPR technology, genetic enhancement, environmental concerns, and the ethical frameworks necessary to guide research and applications in this domain. It underscores the importance of rigorous ethical scrutiny and public engagement in shaping the future of genome editing.
