Abstract

The development of new gene editing technologies and their special characteristics have led to a passionate debate on the suitability and reliability of their use both in plant and animal species and in the human species itself. A brief analysis of the arguments used in this debate as well as a summary of some of the most relevant statements in this regard is made.
