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.

Yes, but only in terms of preventing disease, disorders, and significant health issues. This should not be applied to physical appearance.
@78MJYZM 11mos11MO
Yes, but only in terms of preventing disease, disorders, or significant health issues. Never for physical appearance/ designer babies
@9RBTJRM11mos11MO
Yes, however, it needs to be highly regulated, and should only be used to fix any health issues, not make super children with specific gender, eye color, hair color, etc. We are a vain society, this should be used to weed out health issues.
@9R39MRM12mos12MO
Yes, we can always relax regulations. We can't undo regrettable or tragic things that may occur if we allow it freely.
@9R5MQF612mos12MO
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.
@9TJ48HW10mos10MO
Yes, it should not be used for cosmetic purposes, but it should be contained to be studied and used to dance our medical knowledge.
@9R2WY8S12mos12MO
No but there should be oversight by a qualified medical community whether government or professional.

As long as nothing is forced on anyone, they should be able to do whatever they want. Ethics are only the problem of the ones doing the act, until it begins to affect others.
