I am writing a research essay for my high school writing class about regulating gene editing. One of my proposals is (obviously) an international conference (possibly UN related) where experts discuss the risks and research frameworks for future gene editing technologies and uses of dangerously effective and cheap ones like CRISPER.
So, my teacher thinks the essay could be more powerful if I can write about an example where the international community came up together to mitigate some risks and successfully did it. Do you have a recommendation of such a meeting? Something scientific related would be more suitable, but anything will help.
