Abstract

The authors of the ELSIcon special issue have advanced the conversation on ethics and genetics. Nevertheless, we have some concerns. Here, we respond specifically to Conley et al. (2023). We choose to do so because we are the group the article refers to as practising a form of public engagement “that seeks community perspectives to advance equity.” We organized the Australian Citizens’ Jury on Genome Editing (ACJ) and initiated the proposal for a Global Citizens’ Assembly on Genome Editing (GCA), both of which featured prominently in the article. We are also the lead authors of seven articles cited by Conley et al.
