Bioethics web archive

Collected by: National Library of Medicine

Archived since: Feb, 2016

Description:

A selective collection of websites documenting topics in bioethics, including a focus on ethical, legal, and social implication of gene-editing. Collecting began in 2016 following the launch of the Human Gene-Editing Initiative by the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Medicine to facilitate decision making for the responsible use of human gene-editing research. Archived websites are primarily in English. NLM will continue to develop, review, describe, and add content to the collection.
