WHO WE ARE

The Council for Responsible Genetics fosters public debate about the social, ethical and environmental implications of genetic technologies. CRG works through the media and concerned citizens to distribute accurate information and represent the public interest on emerging issues in biotechnology.

CENTRAL PRINCIPLES

The public must have access to clear and understandable information on technological innovations.

The public must be able to participate in public and private decision making concerning technological developments and their implementation.

New technologies must meet social needs. Problems rooted in poverty, racism, and other forms of inequality cannot be remedied by technology alone.
