Genetic engineering involves modifying the DNA of organisms to prevent or treat diseases. Proponents argue that it could lead to breakthroughs in curing genetic disorders and improving public health. Opponents argue that it raises ethical concerns and potential risks of unintended consequences.

No
@9T878LK1mo1MO
Don't do it. God made us the way we are in His image and to change that would be basically saying the the Lord of the universe didn't do a good enough job.
@9VVGC597 days7D
No, we should not open the pandora's box to modifying DNA which can have harmful social implications in the future
We should ask more ethical questions before going full steak ahead. Ask more philosophical and ethical questions
@9VJZTNPConservative2wks2W
Yes, but only if they companies provide yearly breakdowns of where the funds are going. After 5 years if they don't provide any (proven) improvements, funding stops.
Yes, but how will this affect the economy? And how will the government respond to something like this?
@9V2YV4B3wks3W
No, I don’t want the government funding things, but genetic engineering is cool and fun. Plus, who knows? Maybe we get a superhero out of it!
@9TV8XFS4wks4W
Yes, we should fund more research. But the government should watch over the research. To ensure it is happening ethically
@9TT85JL4wks4W
This question is vague. Genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment is different in terms of whether it’s done on humans, crops or food.
@9TR533J4wks4W
Yes, but it should be strictly reserved to medicinal use and exclude all meddling in reproduction and human cloning
@9TMMVLNNew Democratic1mo1MO
I would say yes to some extent as long as it's for a preventional reason like for instance preventing a deadly disease that affects the whole society not on just a handful on people..
@9T9YZJH1mo1MO
No, but in the future, if diseases like monkey pox was to reach a covid 19 level of concern, then I would want that a top priority.
@9T8X5WB1mo1MO
Only for specific diseases such as alzheimers, dementia, etc. i would not support funding research into getting rid of people with autism or down syndrome.
@9QNDV5PRhinoceros4mos4MO
They have to be VERY VERY VERY careful when they do it but it can save lives and somebody is going to do it eventually so yes
Yes, but only if The research organization takes the best interests of the country into account And is unbiased
@9RZPX672mos2MO
no, that is nothing but neo eugenics, a neo nazi school of thought, which our government and forefathers disagree with/ died protecting against
@9RC2QHKNew Democratic3mos3MO
Yes, Excepting that our government correctly uses peer reviewed research that identifies diseases and the likes.
@9P965MFConservative4mos4MO
I believe it is important, however, there are other pressing matters that I think the government should invest more money in.
Yes, make it as long as one’s life can ever last. A democracy to quality humans leads to a greater future of humanity in Canada’s society.
