Genome editing: Commission’s Ethics Group calls for wide-ranging 
societal debate and global governance
The European Group on Ethics in Science and New Technologies (EGE), an 
independent advisory body to the Commission, has today published its 
Opinion on the ethics of genome editing. The Opinion analyses ethical 
questions raised by the application of genome editing in humans, animals 
and plants, and hence spans health, research, agriculture and 
environmental aspects.

The Opinion was delivered to the President of the European Commission 
and to Commissioner Gabriel (Innovation, Research, Culture, Education 
and Youth).
