It should be done using AI rather than live animals / humans, as it would be unethical and immoral to cause present-day suffering to alleviate potential future suffering.

 @9ZMSDTX answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but this should be heavily regulated as genetic engineering could prove to be harmful if there is no guidance or regulation.

 @9ZCTZV6answered…1yr1Y

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.

 @9ZBGXQDanswered…2yrs2Y

Not if there is an alternative such as healthier eating and exercise, money should be put into that instead

 @9YMXLXHanswered…2yrs2Y

Ye but there needs to be strict regulatory controls put in place

Yes, but with careful consideration and a set code of ethics that keeps the focus on disease prevention and treatment.
