Abstract

In recent years, there are more and more achievements in gene editing technology, and more and more private individuals begin to study gene editing technology. Gene editing technology is a hot topic both in medical circles and in legal circles. Different from traditional genetic engineering technology, gene editing technology has powerful functions and accuracy, which can effectively cure various human genetic diseases and prolong human life expectancy. However, while enjoying the great benefits brought by gene editing technology to mankind, we must also realize that a series of moral and ethical problems caused by gene editing technology have also promoted the improvement of China's legislative model in the field of gene editing. From the perspective of ethics and law, this paper studies the relevant laws and regulations of gene editing technology from many aspects, and effectively points out the application scope of the technology and the consensus that the current society should reach on the application of the technology.
