What people are saying
The discussions reveal a strong focus on the global policy landscape, with many pointing out that over 70 countries prohibit heritable genome editing and referencing legal treaties like the Oviedo Convention, indicating a broad consensus on restrictions. However, some comments note inconsistencies and the absence of a global moratorium, demonstrating ongoing debates and concern about policy enforcement and ethical implications.
Most discussions emphasize that current policies are restrictive and prohibit heritable genome editing, but there is some acknowledgment that a few countries have no explicit bans, leading to mild disagreement.
The social discussions demonstrate high interest, as many references include detailed statistics, legal considerations, and debates about ethics, showing strong engagement with the topic.
Participants reference specific policies, treaties, and examples of countries like the US and China, indicating meaningful engagement rather than dismissiveness.
The discussions highlight that the publication contributes significantly to understanding global regulatory trends and may influence policy debates, reflecting a moderate impact score.
Abstract in brief
- Most of the 106 countries surveyed (96) have policies related to human germline and heritable genome editing, including legislation, regulations, and international treaties.
- The majority of these countries (75 out of 96) prohibit using genetically modified embryos to start a pregnancy, with only a small number allowing specific exceptions and no country outright permitting heritable human genome editing.
- These findings show a global trend of cautious or restrictive policies on germline and heritable genome editing, which differs from earlier reports suggesting more permissiveness.]

New paper out that takes a look at the global regulatory landscape for CRISPR babies (heritable human genome editing). Out of 106 countries surveyed, 70 prohibit heritable genome editing outright. No country explicitly permits it. https://t.co/P0TTLsVacy
Did you know? 70 countries prohibit heritable human genome editing (for reproduction). Another 5 prohibit w/ possible exceptions, but NONE permit. Our paper on policies in 106 countries out now #OpenAccess in @CRISPRJournal. https://t.co/U1ZkhKIL55 https://t.co/BEzoBr5lPl
Currently 70+ countries prohibit heritable genome editing for reproduction (29 signed a binding intl treaty) and none explicitly permit it. (Somatic genome editing, intended to treat existing patients, is widely supported.) #HNet_Eugenics2022 https://t.co/U1ZkhKIL55
@eben_kirksey Unscrupulous clinics offering "GM babies" don’t just violate WHO guidelines. Heritable genome editing is prohibited by Turkey as an Oviedo Convention signatory. We found 70+ countries prohibit, 0 explicitly permit. See https://t.co/U1ZkhKIL55

The Future of CRISPR Gene Editing and Its Global Impact
This video provides an overview of CRISPR gene editing, exploring its potential revolutionary influence. It discusses current policies worldwide and the cautious approach to human germline and heritable genome editing…
@Tommy8788 @politicalmath that's false, actually. sure, some countries prohibit them explicitly, but others have no law against it, and a few explicitly permit it https://t.co/faVYDM07EI (annoyingly the details here are in supplementary table files separated by continent)

@lexikon1 Bans unrealistic? 70+ countries prohibit heritable genetic manipulation–and there's an international treaty (the Oviedo Convention) explicitly banning it. This article has more policy detailed analysis: https://t.co/U1ZkhKradx
@trishsumerlin @TWJop @GSKUS @NatureGenet @OpenTargets @sangerinstitute @GosiaTrynka I think you’re referring to CAR-T (cellular therapy technology by providing a highly programmable & irreversible- antigen targeting platform). True human genome editing is an ethical slippery slope: https://t.co/FpjTpaa4BY
@slothanova @CynthiaMN5 heritable genome editing in human embyos that will be implanted which is generally what is referenced by the public as deisgjer babies etc. is prohibited everywhere and research is also majorly prohibited https://t.co/b0qWeqvZd8

@SteveBakerHW @Mark_J_Harper @DavidDavisMP @CGreenUK @EdwardJDavey @labourwhips @RachaelMaskell @SteveBakerHW mentioned PHA, this is what needs watching. In my mind there is no valid reason to inject everyone multiple times country, position ethics > https://t.co/LAHk5edLnR

And yet, there was no call for a global moratorium, even though more than 70 of WHO’s member nations have already established bans on the practice. (3/6) https://t.co/U1ZkhKIL55

Thanks for the #CRISPR explainer @MichaelTabb @AGawrylewski @Jeffdelviscio @sciam. We recently did a survey - published in @CRISPRjournal - and found that 70+ countries prohibit heritable genome editing. (The link you give is to an older article.) https://t.co/BVVQ4BeWFp
