Public Realm Entrance and Societal Alignment of Germline Editing (PRESAGE); towards societal alignment of high impact genetic technologies
What do we think of adjusting the DNA of embryos? So-called human germline gene editing (HGGE) can potentially prevent genetic diseases, but it also calls into question what it means to be human. With PRESAGE, a consortium led by Erasmus MC is taking the next step towards aligning the decisions we make about HGGE technology with what we value and consider important as a society. To engage and connect all people with the topic, we employ art and journalism, and explore how we can give everyone a voice in decision-making about HGGE.
