Abstract

This Entreaty recognizes that there are experiments and experimental goals that should not be undertaken or pursued because the risks, as best they are understood, far outweigh the possible benefits. These experiments and goals should be defined by “redlines” that practitioners of science will not violate.

Description
Developed from discussions hosted by the Pathogens and Bioweapons Theme group at the Spirit of Asilomar.
This entreaty was created as part of The Spirit of Asilomar and the Future of Biotechnology summit (February 23-26, 2025) in Pacific Grove, CA.
