Scientists working on genome editing have taken an interest in the governance of the responsibility of its application, and instituted discussion and opinion groups on how to manage the technology.
The first international summit on genome editing closed on 3 December in Washington DC, but as early as September the part of the community that works on stem cells and their ethical and legal aspects (the Hinxton Group) published a detailed statement on the theme. The statement is made available here.
 

 
September – December 2015
Between September and December a laboratory was held on the relationship between 19th century Milan and the city we live in today at the Università Statale (thanks to the Dipartimento di Studi Storici, the Associazione Lapsus and to Globus et Locus).
Many excellent hosts held the meetings, from Franco Farinelli to Giulio Ceppi, from Leonardo Previ to Lanfranco Senn, Alessandro Rosina, Emanuele Garda, Jacopo Tondelli and Bertram Niessen, Piero Bassetti and Renato Mattioni…
It represented the possibility for the Foundation to continue an itinerary started in 1959 by President Piero Bassetti and Giacomo Corna Pellegrini with the book ‘Le redini del potere’.
