Theme: How far should human genetic modifications be allowed to go?
WHO (World Health Organisation) is the United Nations agency that connects nations, partners and people to promote health, keep the world safe and serve the vulnerable – so everyone, everywhere can attain the highest level of health.
As our knowledge of genetics grows and therapies are developed, the idea of changing the genetic background of a human raises important ethical concerns. Genetic therapies hold promise to treat many diseases, but they are still new approaches to treatment and may have risks. Ethical controversy surrounds the possible use of these technologies in plants, animals, and humans, particularly genetic engineering. Some wonder whether or not we should let others modify human genes to try and “improve” people. It must be possible, but shall we allow those modifications to go that far? How big can the risks become if we do allow them? In this debate, delegates will be expected to explore the possibilities of genetic modifications and set their limits.
