Abstract
The article highlights federal government funding of Targeted Genomic Editing (TGE) experimentation on human embryos, and recommends additional funding to accelerate scientific development and inquiry. Topics discussed include background of TGE, emphasizing CRISPR-Cas9 technology; risk of an emerging knowledge gap in this field; and legitimate concerns about what kinds of research are in the public and national interest.
