      abstract = {This book discusses the possibilities for the use of  international human rights law (and specifically,  international biomedical laws related to the protection of  human rights and the human genome) to provide a guiding  framework for the future regulation of genetic  modifications applied to human embryos and other precursor  materials, when these are made with the aim of implanting a  genetically altered embryo in a woman. The significance and  timeliness of the work derives from the recent availability  of CRISPR/ Cas9 and other gene editing tools, and from  lacunae in international law regarding the legality of  embryo modification with these tools and appropriate  governance structures for the oversight of resulting  practices. The emergence of improved genome editing tools  like CRISPR/Cas9, holds the promise of eradicating genetic  diseases in the near future. But its possible future  applications with Pre-Implantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD)  raises a plethora of legal and ethical concerns about  "remaking" future human beings. The work aims to address an  urgent call, to embed these rising concerns about  biomedical advancements into the fundamental tailoring of  legal systems. Suitable regulatory approaches, coupled with  careful reflection of global biomedical laws and individual  constitutional systems must be explored. The Book analyzes  the impact of reproductive biomedical technologies on the  legal and ethical dimensions of regulatory frameworks in  selected constitutional systems like the US, the UK,  Australia, Malaysia and Thailand. Employing a comparative  law methodology, the work reveals a dynamic intersection  between legal cultures, socio-philosophical reasoning and  the development of a human rights-based framework in  bio-political studies. Navigating towards a truly  internationalized biomedical approach to emerging  technologies, it presents an understanding why a  renegotiation and reinvigoration of a contemporary and  "new" universal shared values system in the international  human rights discourse is now necessary.},
