Evolved Eugenics and Reinforcement of “Othering”: Renewed Ethico-Legal Perspectives of Genome Editing in Reproduction

This article extends an exploration into renewed ethico-legal perspectives of genome editing technologies, examined from evolved conceptualization eugenics in contemporary human reproduction. Whilst the conundrums presented by genome-editing technologies various aspects modern medicine have thus far inspired a comprehensive trove academic scholarship—and notwithstanding World Health Organization’s (WHO) publication guidelines on 2021—the legislative landscape for these remain relatively unchanged. Accordingly, this paper presents unresolved problematic questions that still require significant reflection. First, highlights questions, which primarily center around tension between reproductive autonomy and legal governance reproductive/genome democratic state. Secondly, interrogates eugenics, exercised part prospective parents as autonomy. By this, predicates it indirectly reinforces societal systemic problems discrimination “othering”, increasing inequalities excluded communities. Thirdly, attempts to offer narratives intersectionality facilitating tool continuing dialogue build belonging, foster healthy balanced exercise autonomy, increase equalities.
