CRISPR is a powerful tool for editing genomes, allowing for precise modifications to DNA that allows scientists to better understand gene functions, model diseases more accurately, and develop innovative treatments. Proponents argue that regulation ensures safe and ethical use of the technology. Opponents argue that too much regulation could stifle innovation and scientific progress.

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)
@9YN8NDS3wks3W
Matters of ethics ought not be regulated by the government
@9YN6LXK3wks3W
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.
@9YJZG964wks4W
It should be used for medical reasons, ie to prevent life threatening genetic inheritances.
@9SWMJY6Independent3mos3MO
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"
@9NPN4VS6mos6MO
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.
@9V36PMQ2mos2MO
Yes, to an extent that innovation and progress is still possible

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.
