Panel experto de la OMS regulará edición genética de humanos

Durante los próximos dos años se trazarán las recomendaciones para uso de esta tecnología y se llevará una base de datos de todos los proyectos de este tipo en el mundo

At press conferences in Washington, London, Paris and Berlin, 12 February 2001, scientists probing the so-called "book of life" released research sequencing and mapping of the human genome - a development set to revolutionize the treatment of illness and disease. After months of hype and expectation, the draft sequence of the human "genetic blueprint", assembled by the International Human Genome Sequencing Consortium, was published in Nature magazine. The Wellcome Trust, which funds the Sanger Center headed by British scientist John Sulston, unveiled more findings about the human genome.The findings could revolutionize the detection and treatment of inherited conditions, like cancer, heart disease and diabetes.

El panel de expertos sobre genética convocado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) resolvió la tarde de este martes trabajar por una regulación internacional sobre edición genética de seres humanos.

Este fue el resultado de una reunión de dos días en donde se analizaron los retos científicos, éticos, sociales y legales y harán recomendaciones para crear normas de estos procedimientos.
