With considerable personal, political and economic advantages to be gained, how can we prepare for the arrival of a generation of gene-edited athletes?

In October 2017, the UN Special Rapporteur on Right to Privacy presented to the United Nations General Assembly an interim report on Big Data – Open Data, which considers the advent of modern data technologies, international standards, and regulation and their impact upon the human right to privacy.

“Ever since the US government has professed to see in international relations an opportunity for moral progress, not just an unending power struggle, it could never abandon the rhetoric of human rights, and the construction of the image that the US was the last best hope for the world and destined to lead the world to more human rights and democracy.

Poorer colour vision can make a person unsuited to professions that rely on colour coding. Measure your colour vision sensitivity and see if you can pass occupational colour vision tests!
