Ubuntu is relevant to the bioethical discourse on the governance of HHGE in at least two ways. First, it brings attention to the need for public engagement, as this allows for decision-making on policy to be made with a proper understanding of how HHGE may impact communal harmony. Secondly, Ubuntu informs how ethical questions raised by HHGE—such as whether a society where people use
this technology is more or less equal—are understood.
