Center for Genetics and Society

Mission: 
<b>The Center for Genetics and Society is a nonprofit information and public affairs organization working to encourage responsible uses and effective societal governance of the new human genetic and reproductive technologies. We work with a growing network of scientists, health professionals, civil society leaders, and others.</b>

The Center supports benign and beneficent medical applications
of the new human genetic and reproductive technologies, and opposes
those applications that objectify and commodify human life and threaten
to divide human society.

The Center works in a context of
support for the equitable provision of health technologies domestically
and internationally; for women's health and reproductive rights; for
the protection of our children; for the rights of the disabled; and for
precaution in the use of technologies that could alter the fundamental
processes of the natural world.
