'''''Human Cloning/In Utero Gene Editing''''', The debate over in utero gene editing and human cloning combines aspects of
biotechnology, ethics, and public policy, raising questions about the boundaries of
scientific intervention in human life. Doctoral students were asked to take "Pro", "Con", and "In Between" positions regarding the usefulness and harm of Human Cloning/In Utero Gene Editing.

UM is a global non-profit organization which aims to engage interested scholars with differing views in examining important global societal issues and developing publishable respected arguments that can serve as trustworthy sources to individuals, families, organizations, governments, etc., to express their own informed positions on the issue. These positions will continue being re-examined as new evidence becomes available and being re-adjusted in addendum publications so that they can remain relevant and current. UM will know it is doing its job when it gets closest to achieving unification through a robust balance that becomes increasingly difficult to tip. Accessibility and open feedback from the public can evaluate its effect and prevent it from being misled because an important element was left out of consideration. UM embraces valid differences that complement positions on an issue and bring unique contributions to the table. It will seek to remove doubts of authenticity from expert evidence it presents to non-experts through transparency and disclosure of all conflicts of interest. Every defendable vote will count to assess relative positions to the recommendations of the experts, remaining sensitive to the work that still needs to be done to achieve a robust unifying balance. UM is a platform of expert team positions representing entire fields surrounding an issue, with no agenda of profiting in any way (e.g., financially or through influence and power) from its goal to unify people behind the wisest views on the issue. Informed decisions are likely to avert crises or failure to identify elements that should not be lying in the margins. Ethical boundaries promise to keep us in check. The hope is that UM will unify people to seek positions that serve most people rather than a few with special interests. ([[about_UM|Read more...]])
