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

 @9ZT35WManswered…3mos3MO

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

 @9ZL6BT7answered…3mos3MO

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.

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.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…5mos5MO

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