Abstract

A global socio-bioethics is called upon to address the ethical challenges arising from the revolutionary gene editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9, which offers the capability to rewrite the human genome. The ethical inquiry Françoise Baylis has undertaken in the book Altered Inheritance: CRISPR and the Ethics of Human Genome Editing (Harvard University Press, 2019) operates at individual, societal and global levels. Baylis has not only presented insights on how to practice "slow science" and achieve broad societal consensus through empowering the public, but she also shown what a global socio-bioethics approach can offer for the further development of bioethics.

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 April 2021.
All research outputs
#17,730,887
of 25,988,468 outputs
Outputs from Hastings Center Report
#561
of 695 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#333,400
of 529,709 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hastings Center Report
#2
of 2 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,988,468 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 695 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 9.5. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 529,709 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 27th percentile – i.e., 27% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 2 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
