Ari Shapiro/NPR In the U.S., surrogate parenting is widely accepted. Although no official figures exist, experts believe perhaps a thousand American children are born every year through surrogacy. A patchwork of state-to-state regulations governs the prac...

[뉴스 인 뉴스] 유전자가위 논란의 배경
관련 : [뉴스 인 뉴스] 유전자가위 논란의 배경병든 유전자만 골라서 ‘싹뚝’ 양병찬 약사·과학리포터 중국의 과학자들이 소위 ‘유전자가위’를 이용하여 인간 배아의 유전자를 교정했다고 해서 말이 많다. ‘유전자가위’라는 개념이 생소한 분도 있을 것이다. 유전자가위란 도대체 무엇일까? 유전자가위란 유전체에서 특정 염기서열을 인식하여 해당 부위의 DNA를 절단하는 시스템으로, 인간 및 동식물 세포의 유전체를 교정하는 데 사용된다. 쉽게 말해서, 유전자가위란 옷이 찢어졌을 때 찢어진 부분만 도려내고 새로운 천으로 바꿔 치기 하는 ‘유전자 짜깁기’ 기술이다. 유전자가위는 왜 필요하며, 어떠한 배경하에서 탄생했을까? 일반적인 질병...
