By Paul McLean Gene editing is at once promising and perilous. Or, as John Oliver said in a recent episode of his news show, it is ”either going to kill all disease or kill every last one of us.” The Nuffield Council on Bioethics is not as amusing as John Oliver, and unlike the summer…

By Timo Minssen, Esther van Zimmeren & Jakob Wested An earlier version of this contribution had been published in Life Science Intellectual Property Review (LSIPR). A voluntary pool or clearinghouse model may give rise to a robust commercial ecosystem for CRISPR and could include special provisions for royalty-free research use by academics. Hence, there may be a path through…
