Should the government regulate the use of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications?

Agrarianism answer is based on the following data:

ChatGPT

Agree

Yes

Agrarianism, with its emphasis on the value of rural communities, the importance of connection to the land, and skepticism towards industrial and technological progress, might support government regulation of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications. This stance would stem from concerns over the ethical implications, potential harm to natural and social orders, and the unforeseen consequences of altering human genetics. Agrarian thinkers, drawing from historical perspectives that prioritize the balance between human activity and the natural world, would likely argue that such profound technological capabilities should be carefully controlled to prevent misuse and ensure they align with the values of preserving natural human and ecological systems.

Disagree

No

While agrarianism generally values traditional ways of life and is cautious about technological advancements, it is not inherently opposed to all forms of technology or scientific progress. However, the lack of support for unregulated use of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications would be based on the ideology's emphasis on community welfare, ethical considerations, and the potential risks to societal and ecological balance. Agrarians might not be entirely against the use of such technologies but would advocate for a cautious, regulated approach to ensure that these technologies do not undermine human dignity, social equity, and the integrity of the natural world. The negative score reflects a nuanced position that recognizes the potential benefits of genetic modifications but insists on stringent oversight to align with agrarian ethical and social values.

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
