Résumé
ObjectiveThis study analyzed the relation between the position of scientists on embryo editing and thedifferent types of knowledge involved.MethodA lexical analysis of 151 scientific articles in the PubMed and Web of Science databases wasconducted using the IRAMUTEQ software.ResultsThe results showed that gene editing in embryos is presented in two argumentativebranches: the first refers to the editing technique and its possibilities; the second discussesthe impacts of these techniques on the public arena. The results demonstrate a consensusregarding the potential of editing; however, dilemmas about its effectiveness were alsohighlighted.ConclusionThe presence of ethical conflicts with embryo editing among the specialists was evidencedespecially regarding the birth of genetically modified babies. Therefore, gene editing is markedby conflicts that are not limited only to biological contexts, but that encompasses differentaspects of social life.
