Commission Introductory Paragraph<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On september 29th 2022, China presents the first cloned arctic wolf in the world, immediately, it is declared \u201cA huge leap forward for the application of clonation technologies for the conservation of biodiversity\u201d, the new technology promises the viability of advanced genome manipulation techniques for more and more organisms, together with the possibility of using such techniques to boost worldwide industries, commerce, and providing a way to attack the problems that plagued humanity at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2035, American genetics company Infinita Genetics achieves a major breakthrough, its scientists, for the first time ever, Achieve the modification of previously untouched genetic regions belonging to a corn plant, using cutting edge technology like CRISPR-CAS9 genome editing, giving it characteristics that made it beneficial to agriculture, despite other companies having already published different GMO corn plants, the \u201cAzure Corn\u201d by Infinita had much different attributes, for example, a 75% increase in essential minerals and nutrients within its structure, as well as its grain and its cob being 50% bigger than other corn variants, its also more resistant against fungi and diseases, being impervious to things like soil erosion, and more resilient against droughts or heavy storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

looking to beat the competition and generate income, Infinita genetics publishes its discoveries during a press release the director of the research and development department at the company states \u201cInfinita is compromised with the nutritional safety of countries with this new product, we have pushed the frontiers of agricultural technology, and look to use theses discoveries for good\u201d, Infinita is pushed into the spotlight, headlines around the world praise them for their research and merits, with this success the company is able to expand its research horizons, now including, genome modification in animals and microorganisms, as well as increasing their funds dedicated to the research of plants and agriculture, however, this peak in technology also catched the attention of various institutions and international authorities, that are worried about the potential these technologies have, and want to prevent it from being used in improper ways, like modifying the human genome or the creation of \u201cSuperhybrids\u201d, responding to the call for action, the UN forms an international Committe, where the implications of the discovery can be assessed, and prevent the involvement of bad actors, manage the legal, ethical, and economic concerns responsibly, convince the world of the potential of biotechnology and cloning, or close its doors forever, prepare delegates, our future is in your hands<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agenda items and issues to be discussed in the committee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Debate Topics for the Commission on Bioethics and Genetic Technology Regulation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lessons from Cloning and Genetic Editing Practices:<\/strong> Considering the various industries where genetic editing can be applied, how can the international community draw lessons from Infinita\u2019s cloning and genome editing methods to responsibly guide the future development of biotechnology and the human species\u2014while taking into account the key perspectives of public health, ethics, legality, and the common good?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Legal and Ethical Limits on the Use of Genetic Technologies<\/strong>: From a legal and ethical standpoint, what limits should be established for companies like Infinita Genetics in the use of cloning and genetic editing technologies, and how can transparency in their research and the use of such technologies be ensured?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Informing the Public About Genetic Technology:<\/strong> Considering the potential risks of cloning and genetic modification, as well as their controversial nature, how can we effectively inform citizens and the general public about these scientific advancements and technologies, while avoiding alarmism and misinformation?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responsibility in the Regulation of Genetic Technologies:<\/strong> Considering the capabilities and responsibilities of different organizations, both at the national and international levels, which organizations should be responsible for the proper regulation of genetic and cloning technologies to prevent their irresponsible use and avoid the monopolization of such technologies?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
