Research On Legal Regulation Of Human Embryo Gene Editing Technology

Gene editing technology has gone through three generations of development in less than fifty years.By modifying the target gene and its transcription products,the technology makes it possible for humans to overcome difficult diseases.As a kind of gene editing technology,human embryo gene editing technology can not only prevent and treat genetic diseases,but also protect individual reproductive rights to a great extent.It is true that gene editing of embryos can bring great benefits to human beings,but the technical,ethical and social risks arising from it cannot be underestimated.Once human embryo gene editing technology is abused,it will do irreversible harm to human society,so it is necessary to regulate it by law.At present,there are still many deficiencies in the legal regulation of human embryo gene editing technology in China.The administrative legal norms are scattered,fragmented,and the legal level is low.The position of the system and the establishment of the constitutive elements of the crime still need to be discussed.The legal status of human embryo is not clear in the civil law,and the right relief system is not perfect.In response to the above-mentioned urgent problems,through reclassification of human embryo gene editing technology,and at the same time,drawing on the experience of extraterritorial legal regulation and combining with the national conditions,we have obtained classification regulations,establishment of effective risk prevention and control systems,and regulatory ideas for the careful development of human genetic research,and then build a diversified legal regulatory system to make human embryo gene editing technology better serve humans.
