Should the government regulate the use of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications?

No

Yes, we should only use it to prevent diseases and disorders instead of altering physical appearances

No, people should be able to do whatever they want as long as its not harming anyone else

Yes, and it should be considered a medical procedure to prevent diseases and disorders, while made illegal to "customise" a baby, which only reinforces discrimination and the baby cannot give consent and a baby is not an object to customise, but a human which will have their own opinion on their own appearance. We have enough body dysmorphia in humanity, we do not need to add an extra reason for it to increase

No, but they're work should be continued in the fight against bacterias, infections, and supporting the creation of vaccines

yes, but allow citizens with diseases to make their own decisions to take informed-potential risks to utilised this tech to help them

EMA would already regulate this. CRISPR should only be applied in the disease curing / prevention context, and not for other uses.

This question is misleading. They aren't genetically modifying people forcefully or without consent. You need to be clear that this is in disease prevention and treatment (not as a separate question)

It should be used for medical reasons, ie to prevent life threatening genetic inheritances.

Matters of ethics ought not be regulated by the government

Human genetic modifications are far out of the realm of CRISPR technology as present in the sense that you could design humans, however it has shown some success for disease linked genes. This question is dumb.

Only to remove 'imperfections' in genetics such as inheritable diseases. It shouldn't be used to 'perfect' humanity, only to remove 'imperfections'. Anything outside of it and it would easily be abused by militaries or other private entities to make "Übermensch"

The technology isn’t advanced enough currently for the ethical aspects to be questioned. The government should wait until these ethical issues are addressed and the results are more clear.

Yes, to an extent that innovation and progress is still possible

No, and the government should not interfere with the private sector

What responsibility do you think we have to regulate how much technology like this is used in our society?

Would you personally use gene editing to eliminate a potential health issue in yourself or your family?

Could making genetic modifications increase social inequalities, or would it reduce them?

How would you feel if someone edited their DNA to increase intelligence—fair game, or unfair advantage?

Can you name a potential positive or negative impact on nature and ecosystems if gene editing were widely applied outside humans?

Do you believe using science to extend human lifespan is more of an opportunity or a danger?

Should parents be allowed to use this kind of technology to select specific traits for their unborn children?

How do you feel about the idea of using technology to control future generations' traits or abilities?

Do you think altering human genes to eliminate disease crosses an ethical line, or is it just the next step in human evolution?

If you could change one genetic trait, what would it be and why?

Yes, we can always relax regulations later but can’t undo tragic outcomes from reckless use of new technologies
