Dear all

The Genetic Alliance are coordinating a survey on the use and regulation of gene editing technologies. The survey is part of a European wide drive to gather the views of the public on new technologies that could be used to enhance human cognitive ability.

The survey involves watching a short video, and completing a series of questions focused on different ethical questions raised by gene editing technologies. It should take no more than 20 minutes. The survey is open to all and is completely anonymous, but you can choose to leave an email address with the Genetic Alliance if you wish to be contacted for further involvement in the project. The survey closes on 13th November.

The link to the video/questions is-

Best wishes

Harriet
