Abstract  

After “Brexit”, the UK has accelerated the legislative process in the field of biotechnology, especially for genetic technology. The UK is eager to innovate the original conservative regulatory model of the European Union and give full play to the application value of genetic technology on the premise of ensuring technical safety. To this end, the UK issued the Report on Genetic Technologies, which aims to rebuild a more comprehensive genetic technology regulation system. This report not only analyzes the shortcomings of existing genetic technology governance arrangement, but also points out the direction of genetic technology regulation in the UK in the future. At present, new genetic technologies such as gene editing and synthetic biology are in a period of rapid development. The UK report also provides a reference governance path for the application of these technologies.



Key wordsGene technology      Legal governance      Risk prevention      Public participation
