Summary

Canada’s approach to human germline modification is generally conservative, at times unclear, and largely prohibitive from both a research and clinical perspective. To date, no research using human germline modification has been undertaken in Canada. This chapter provides an overview of the Canadian legal and policy landscape surrounding human germline modification. It will begin by laying the groundwork for the subsequent assessment of specific legal provisions and policies governing the modification of the human germline from basic research to clinical applications. Finally, it will reflect on the challenges and future possibilities for human germline modification in Canada.
