- Fostering responsible research with genome editing technologies: a European perspectivePublication . Chneiweiss, Hervé; Hirsch, François; Montoliu, Lluis; Müller, Albrecht M.; Fenet, Solveig; Abecassis, Marion; Merchant, Jennifer; Baertschi, Bernard; Botbol-Baum, Mylene; Houghton, James A.; Kritikos, Mihalis; Mifsud, Janet; Bartnik, Ewa; Rath, Johannes; Druml, Christiane; Friedrich, Barbel; Carvalho, Ana Sofia; Lanzerath, Dirk; Saint-Raymond, AgnesIn this consensus paper resulting from a meeting that involved representatives from more than 20 European partners, we recommend the foundation of an expert group (European Steering Committee) to assess the potential benefits and draw-backs of genome editing (off-targets, mosaicisms, etc.), and to design risk matrices and scenarios for a responsible use of this promising technology. In addition, this European steering committee will contribute in promoting an open debate on societal aspects prior to a translation into national and international legislation.
