Abstract

The emergence and application of gene editing technology is one of the important symbols of human social progress, which also means that human beings can gradually treat diseases, eliminate poverty and prolong life by changing genes. However, the application of gold editing technology is in the exploratory stage. In this stage, if we can not establish a sound legislative model and relevant laws and regulations, it will inevitably lead to a series of risks. Therefore, from the perspective of the current application and development of gene editing technology in China, combined with China's basic national conditions, this paper discusses the application risk of gene editing technology in detail, and then puts forward its own views and suggestions on the construction of risk management mechanism of gene editing technology.
