Sumario:Though questions about whether gene editing should be done at all have dominated ethical discussion, a literature about how it can be done ethically has been growing. Work on responsible translational pathways for human germline gene editing has been criticized for focusing on the wrong questions.

Asking “whether” questions about gene editing requires a model of what responsible clinical use of gene editing would look like.
