The purpose of this study is to analyze public opinion on the ethics of human genetic editing. Recent developments in CRISPR Cas9 technology has provided the potential for altering human embryos. There is a lot of controversy on the ethics of this subject. This study aims to poll public opinion and prompt discussion of medical ethics as well as analyze the manner that such subjects are discussed through a critical discourse analysis. Currently, the linguistic study of medical ethical debates is still lacking and this study aims to bridge this gap in knowledge by acting as a model for critical discourse analysis on medical ethics.
Thank you for your interest, but this study is recruiting by invitation only.
