Global Observatory for Genome Editing Summit Statement: Call for a Charter on Emerging Technologies and Human Dignity

The organizing committee of the 2025 Global Observatory for Genome Editing conference proposes a Charter on Emerging Technologies and Human Dignity. The development of this Charter is guided by four principles: (1) begin with questions of human dignity and the common good; (2) reconsider current innovation systems and the consequences for the distribution of benefits and risks; (3) expand the range of questions for deliberation; and (4) reimagine the limits of research.
