This project aims to investigate the legal and ethical implications of technologies that allow inheritable modifications of the human genome. The use of these technologies in human embryos is fast becoming an international reality, and this project aims to examine the implications for Australia. The project will clarify the legal status of inheritable genetic modification technologies in Australia, analyse the ethics of these new technologies, and, building on this, recommend regulatory reforms to guide Australia’s response to international scientific and legal developments. These reforms could improve the governance of these new technologies and guide their clinical adoption.

该项目旨在调查允许对人类基因组进行遗传性修改的技术所涉及的法律的和伦理问题。在人类胚胎中使用这些技术正在迅速成为国际现实，该项目旨在研究对澳大利亚的影响。该项目将澄清可继承的基因改变技术在澳大利亚的法律的地位，分析这些新技术的伦理问题，并在此基础上提出管理改革建议，以指导澳大利亚对国际科学和法律的发展作出反应。这些改革可以改善这些新技术的治理，并指导其临床应用。
