Join our fight for genetic justice     Join the fight for genetic justice Dear John, As someone who follows and supports CGS, you understand that protecting a fair and inclusive future means keeping heritable genome editing off limits. That’s why the news of the first two genetically modified “CRISPR babies” – on this day five years ago – was so horrifying. The wildly unethical escapade put at risk not just these babies' health, but the prospects for our collective future. People around the world reacted with outrage and concern, and CGS jumped into action with a civil society sign-on letter calling for a global prohibition on heritable genome editing. Since then, we’ve intensified our efforts to build a genetically just future. We’ve kept you up to date on key developments: from the discovery that CRISPR causes “chromosomal mayhem” in human embryos to the antics of techno-elites who embrace the label “hipster eugenics” as they promote genetic testing of IVF embryos for intelligence. We've published groundbreaking research demonstrating that 70 countries already prohibit heritable genome editing – and that none explicitly permit it. Our findings overturned previous assumptions about the “Global Policy Landscape.” And we’ve organized. Our Missing Voices Initiative brings social justice and human rights voices and perspectives front and center in public and policy discussions about heritable genome editing. As we mark this anniversary, we are clear about the challenges ahead and energized by our amazing colleagues and supporters, like you. Will you join the fight for genetic justice? Donate Now Giving Tuesday is in two days, and we're asking for your support. We have ambitious plans for the coming year, including releasing social justice principles for governing heritable genome editing, and a series of essays on eugenics in the life sciences and medicine by a star-studded roster of authors. Your generosity keeps us going. A donation today would make a tremendous impact as we work to stabilize an uncertain financial future while fending off the dangerous eugenic fantasies of techno-enthusiasts. Can you make a year-end gift to help CGS keep going strong? Donate Now We are deeply grateful for your efforts, your company, and your support.
