Position Paper: Is the Use of Genomic Editing valid and Ethical? -- Ethics Journals

American Journal of Bioethics
This journal may be especially useful for researching ethical aspects of biology, including genetics. The American Journal of Bioethics publishes research on social implications of clinical research, access to health services, and medical records and data.

BMC Medical Ethics
Provides research articles in relation to the ethical aspects of biomedical research and clinical practice, including professional choices and conduct

Other Biology Journals that may be of use for your project
