Genome Editing Regulations

Genome editing regulations are rules governing how scientists can modify DNA in plants, animals, and humans. These laws aim to ensure safety, ethical practices, and prevent misuse, while encouraging innovation. Regulatory approaches vary by country but typically involve assessing potential risks, transparency, and approval processes before new gene-edited organisms are used or sold. The goal is to balance innovation with precaution, protecting health and the environment without stifling scientific progress.
