Dear Friends and Colleagues

*Gene Drives: A Scientific Case for a Complete and Perpetual Ban*
by Jonathan Latham, PhD

scientific-case-for-a-complete-and-perpetual-ban/

*Synopsis:* At what point do the products of a technology become
sufficiently complex, uncertain, or unmanageable as to be unregulatable?
This question is surprisingly rarely discussed given that it is key to
successful and safe technological development. This article examines and
compares the properties of indisputably successfully regulated systems,
such as airplanes, with less successful examples of government regulation
and applies these lessons to gene drives.

Please share this article if you find it useful.

Thank you and apologies for cross posting.

“The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits
and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic
society. Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society
constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of
our country.”—Edward Bernays, Propaganda
