As long as it is not required for a citizen to receive genetic engineering, the government can fund the research.
@9XZGL83Constitution7mos7MO
Yes, this technology holds some serious & potential dangers to the entire population. We need to stay ahead of our adversaries and strive to be the most advanced nation to keep our nation safe from threats of other rogue nations.
@9XTM8WV7mos7MO
Yes for widely agreed upon harmful diseases and disorders, but no further genetic modification should be done.
@9X6V5X3Constitution7mos7MO
Yes, but lab leaks should have transparency immediately and governments need to hold individuals responsible.
@9WW5FMS7mos7MO
No, after what we learned post 2020 about "gain of function" research, it's too prone to monetary corruptions
@9WKRXYY7mos7MO
they should only use it on certain items and also make sure the consumer is aware of the genetic modified product
@9V7RK4F8mos8MO
Yes, though it depends on the methods being used to research; for instance, research using embryos should not be supported by the government or by anyone
@9TSG5B7Constitution8mos8MO
Yes but like all things goverenment will weaponize it or find a way to control (sell) it for its own personal gain. Government is corrupt.
@mathomas156Libertarian 6mos6MO
The government should support the research of genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment.
@9WBFTXZ7mos7MO
Yes, but there would need to be strict accountability and congressional oversight to ensure the research is helping mankind and not just looking for development of bioweaponry.
@CurvyletterConstitution 11mos11MO
Yes, to harness its potential for advancing medicine, improving public health outcomes, and ensuring ethical oversight in scientific innovation
@ChivalKnightConstitution 11mos11MO
Yes, but make laws preventing it from expanding to cosmetics
