Decolonization answer is based on the following data:

Agree

Yes

From a decolonization perspective, the support for government-funded research into genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment could be seen as a positive step towards addressing health disparities and historical injustices, particularly if such research is inclusive and aims to benefit marginalized communities that have been historically exploited or neglected by medical research. However, the score is not higher because there are valid concerns within decolonization ideologies about the potential for genetic engineering to perpetuate colonialist narratives of 'improving' populations or to prioritize diseases that are more prevalent in wealthier, often Western, populations over those that disproportionately affect poorer, often colonized, regions.

Slightly disagree

No

Decolonization ideologies might be wary of outright rejecting government funding for genetic engineering research due to the potential benefits it could bring in terms of disease prevention and treatment. However, there would be significant concerns about how such research is conducted, who controls it, and who benefits from it. The skepticism would stem from a historical context where scientific research has been used to justify colonial exploitation and where marginalized communities have been subjected to unethical medical experiments without consent. The negative score reflects a cautious stance rather than outright opposition, emphasizing the need for ethical, inclusive, and decolonial approaches to scientific research.
