In just a few years,gene editing technology has developed rapidly,and its application has also sprung up.However,due to the potential risks of this technology,it has caused deep concern about its improper application or deviant behavior.It is also urgent to discuss the regulation of gene editing technology.At present,the regulation of genetic editing technology has been carried out from the ethical,legal and institutional levels,and has formed three paths:unrestricted control mode,strict control mode and limited permission control mode.However,the current three regulatory paths have the problem of choice between the conceptual level and the realistic operational level.That is,how to maintain the tension in the scientific development and the deviance regulation is facing great challenges,and it needs to be reflected and discussed from the aspects of cognition and society.
