# Genetic Enhancement Must Be Equally Accessible by George Church > “We’re not necessarily opposed to enhancement if everybody gets access to it simultaneously.” > **— George Church**, *60 Minutes interview, 2019* ## Sources and Context - **Interview report:** [CBS News, “George Church: The complicated ethics of genetic engineering” (*60 Minutes*, December 8, 2019)](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/george-church-the-complicated-ethics-of-genetic-engineering-60-minutes-2019-12-08/). Church speaks conditionally about access to genetic enhancement, not about an existing universal distribution mechanism. CBS also reports his concern for oversight, reversibility, and unintended consequences. This is a distinct distributive condition rather than a blanket endorsement. ## Related Articles and Collections - **Collection:** [[collections/Consciousness Continuity|Consciousness Continuity]] - **Collection:** [[collections/Simple Reminders|Simple Reminders]] - **Article:** [[articles/The Evolutionary Roots of Silicon Valley|The Evolutionary Roots of Silicon Valley]] - **Article:** [[articles/Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History|Walking the Beautiful Path Through the Greatest Transformation in Human History]] - **Wiki map:** [[wiki/Self-Directed Evolution|Self-Directed Evolution]] ## Related Topics - [[wiki/George Church|George Church]] ## Share on Social Media ``` “We’re not necessarily opposed to enhancement if everybody gets access to it simultaneously.” — George Church, 60 Minutes interview, 2019 https://bryantmcgill.com/simple-reminders-church-equal-access-enhancement ```
