Genetic engineering involves modifying the DNA of organisms to prevent or treat diseases. Proponents argue that it could lead to breakthroughs in curing genetic disorders and improving public health. Opponents argue that it raises ethical concerns and potential risks of unintended consequences.

Yes

it would help end the suffering of those born with rare genetic diseases. it would reduce costs spent by hospitals on treatments of these individuals.
@ISIDEWITH8mos8MO
No
@9YLXXN2Independent3mos3MO
the cost of caring for people with complex medical conditions weighs greatly on the healthcare system. it costs a huge amount to treat these patients, from medications to education to surgeries. if the ability to eradicate such conditions is available then we should attempt to erradicate them.
@9ZMSDTXPeople Before Profit 2mos2MO
Yes, but this should be heavily regulated as genetic engineering could prove to be harmful if there is no guidance or regulation.
@9ZCTZV63mos3MO
Yes, but only in cases where the human is not being genetically altered and instead other organisms are in order to create medicines etc, eg. Insulin. It should also be highly regulated.
@9ZBGXQD3mos3MO
Not if there is an alternative such as healthier eating and exercise, money should be put into that instead
@9YMXLXH3mos3MO
Ye but there needs to be strict regulatory controls put in place
