Non-viable embryos created with synthetic DNA
(2025) In Trends in Biotechnology- Abstract
- It is plausible that in the future synthetic DNA (synDNA) technology could enable the creation of non-viable embryos for research, potentially bypassing ethical objections to embryo experimentation. This article explores how the technology might work, the ethical concerns it might mitigate, and the challenges that remain.
