This is a very difficult situation as you can't really put the genie back in the bottle. It looks as if gene editing of humans is here to stay.
This blog may help people explore some of the 'hidden' issues involved in certain media treatments of environmental and scientific issues.

The material should help participants in field-based modules and people generally interested in the natural world. The views are wholly those of the author.
