The Center for Genetics & Society is hosting a series of debates and twitter conversations around emerging technologies such as CRISPR and their use to edit the human genome in the context of reproductive choices.
In Case You Missed It: Last week, H-Eugenics hosted the Twitter conference “New Perspectives on Eugenics.” CGS Associate Director Katie Hasson presented from the @C_G_S Twitter account on missing voices in the discussions about heritable genome editing. You can find all of the presentations on the H-Eugenics Twitter page or at #HNet_Eugenics2022.
