Delegados del paises miembros de las Naciones Unidas (ONU),
cientificos, expertos en leyes, activistas de derechos humanos,
ambientalistas y corresponsales extranjeros se reunieron en
la ciudad de Nueva York, para hacer un nuevo llamado a las naciones
del mundo con el fin de crear una convención internacional
que prohiba la clonación reproductiva humana y las modificaciones
genéticas hereditarias.
Tal como lo informó Tiempos del Mundo en su edición
del pasado 5 de Septiembre, esta es la segunda vez que expertos
en el tema de la clonación acuden a la sede de la ONU,
para discutir y exponer los peligros que acarrea para la especie
humana el acelerado desarrollo de los experimentos y técnicas
genéticas que buscan crear al primer ser humano clonado.
El temor mundial por una potencial aplicación en los
humanos de las nuevas tecnologias genéticas se desató
luego que en 1997 cientificos del Roslin Institute en Escocia
presentaran a la oveja Dolly, el primer ser vivo clonado exitosamente.
Luego de una propuesta formulada por Francia y Alemania, la
Asamblea General de la ONU aprobó, el 12 de diciembre...

Media coverage of recent developments in embryo gene editing might seem to suggest that gene-edited babies are close to becoming a reality. As tech billionaires eager to profit off of techno-eugenics invest in “designer baby” technologies, attempts to normalize heritable genome editing – which remains unsafe and raises significant ethical and societal concerns – are especially dangerous. It’s worth taking a closer look at these developments and what they mean, in a way that pushes back on narratives normalizing the...
