The ethics of editing animal genes, a new study on bovine TB and a new rural chaplain for farmers in the south east
The ethics of editing animal genes and the governance of how this is applied within the agricultural industry; and can a mathematical model help us understand bovine TB?
The Council of Bioethics today publishes its first findings on the impact of advances in genome editing; they're looking at the need for an ethical review of how the technology is used and the need for regulations to govern it. The latest research on Bovine TB uses a mathematical model and questions the extent to which badgers cause TB in cattle; and how modern fish breeding is making the male of the species redundant.
