CRISPR is a powerful tool for editing genomes, allowing for precise modifications to DNA that allows scientists to better understand gene functions, model diseases more accurately, and develop innovative treatments. Proponents argue that regulation ensures safe and ethical use of the technology. Opponents argue that too much regulation could stifle innovation and scientific progress.

@9MMD6HL2mos2MO
Yes, but only in terms of preventing disease, disorders, and significant health issues. This should not be applied to physical appearance.
@78MJYZM 4 days4D
Yes, but only in terms of preventing disease, disorders, or significant health issues. Never for physical appearance/ designer babies
@9R5MQF66 days6D
Yes, but only for germ line (reproductive) mutations that could be passed on to children. Gene therapy to treat single gene mutation disorders in adults should be permitted and subsidized.
@9R4Z6QG1wk1W
Yes, though only to make sure we don't decide to use it on a massive scale without the public knowing. It could be used on human cells and potentially comatose patients whose families allow it. It could cure certain genetic diseases one day.
@9R4TG9M1wk1W
Yes, but limited to ensuring safe and ethical use of the technology without stifling innovation and scientific progress.
@katiesatko 1wk1W
Yes, to a degree. There should be an ethics committee made up of people of various backgrounds/specializations to monitor the ethics of use of CRISPR
