Protectionism

Agree

Yes

Protectionism, as an ideology, emphasizes safeguarding a country's interests, industries, and workforce from foreign competition and influences. While it primarily focuses on economic aspects, the underlying principle of protecting national interests can extend to the regulation of technologies like CRISPR for human genetic modifications. Regulating CRISPR could be seen as a way to protect the public from potential ethical, social, and health-related risks, aligning with the protectionist ethos of safeguarding the populace and maintaining national standards. Historical references specific to CRISPR are limited due to its relatively recent development, but the protectionist approach to other technologies and industries, such as tariffs on imported goods or restrictions on foreign technology companies, illustrates a general tendency towards regulation to protect national interests.

Disagree

No

Protectionism, while primarily concerned with economic policies, advocates for the protection of national interests from external influences. This ideology might not inherently oppose the use of new technologies like CRISPR but would likely support regulating it to prevent potential exploitation or harm to the nation's citizens. However, the outright rejection of regulation could be seen as contrary to protectionist values, as unregulated CRISPR technology could lead to ethical, social, and health issues that might threaten national well-being. Therefore, a protectionist stance would more likely support some level of government intervention, albeit possibly with a focus on ensuring national benefit and security rather than outright prohibition.
