The Regulation of Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques Around the World

Abstract: Mitochondrial replacement techniques (MRTs, also referred to as mitochondrial replacement therapies) have given hope to many women who wish to have genetically related children but have mitochondrial DNA mutations in their eggs. MRTs have also spurred deep ethical disagreemensts and led to different regulatory approaches worldwide. In this review, we discuss the current regulation of MRTs across several countries. After discussing the basics of the science, we describe the current law and policy directions in … Show more

“…However, the growing popularity of genome editing technologies has challenged the existing frameworks that regulate them [7]. Some countries have updated their regulatory systems in an attempt to assure the translation of research to a clinical setting, while others are lagging behind [8,9]. While international coordination is usually not sought for biomedical breakthroughs and their applications, the case of gene editing is an exception, as these technologies having the potential to alter the human species in ways that transcend borders.…”
