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)

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.

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

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.

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @9ZTZRT4Fine Gaelanswered…4 days4D

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @9ZT35WManswered…6 days6D

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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

 @ISIDEWITHasked…3mos3MO

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