International Coalition
To Stop Designer Babies
Stop Designer Babies (UK), Gen-ethisches Netzwerk (Germany) and Alliance for Humane Biotechnology (USA) drafted the following International Declaration Against Legalisation of Human Genetic Modification.
They call on individuals, organisations and institutions to join them in the International Coalition to Stop Designer Babies to demand a global agreement banning human genetic modification and cloning.
Why
On March 6-8, 2023, the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing will be held in London. (The first was in 2015 in Washington DC, the second in 2018 in Hong Kong.) There will be a discussion about the current state of research on genome interventions and possible interventions in the human germline. The program of the upcoming Summit gives the impression, of being primarily an opportunity to lobby in favor of the introduction of Germline Genome Editing.
Beyond the Summit

Organised by:
Alliance for Humane Biotechnology (USA),
Gen-ethisches Netzwerk (Germany),
GeneEthics (Australia)
Despite global outrage, the British government is now trying to overturn the legal ban on human genetic modification (HGM) this year. HGM would create genetic changes with unpredictable long term effects which would be passed on to all future generations, affecting their human rights and intergenerational equity.
