'While synthetic genome technology is still in its infancy, we have the opportunity to debate its use, what is appropriate and not appropriate, and put measures and even laws and regulations in place to define what is allowed.' More from Laura in the blog www.phgfoundation.org/blog/investi...

PHG Foundation@phgfoundation.bsky.social · last yr.

The Wellcome Trust has recently funded research in artificial human DNA creation. The Synthetic Human Genome Project could have a lot of potential but some are urging a cautious approach.

Laura Blackburn was on Radio 4's Today this morning to talk about the importance of addressing the ethical questions that the Synthetic Human Genome project raises. You can hear the discussion here (1h50m): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
