Should the government regulate the use of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications?

No

There should be no gender reassignment surgeries allowed

No, further studies and information to public needs to be released.

No, adding chemicals to children to make them "better", as well as the possible mistakes, makes me completely disagree with the regulation.

up to the people if they want to change there kids and not others

I think that's weird and shouldn't be allowed unless it's used to prevent illness or something life-threatening.

yes, as long as it is known and approved by the people it is going to affect

Only for the benefit of communal health for all citizens and residents if they are required to have an organ transplant or genetic modification for better quality of life or to avoid death.

i feel like more research has to be done on the long term effects, and more risks should be eliminated before the use of CRISPR technology should become regulated.

Yes, but all citizens should be ensured they have the inherent right to refuse medical treatments at all times.

The government should regulate CRISPR with an eye to not regulating to the point of stifling innovation and scientific progress.

Yes, but not too much. CRISPR has the potential to be transformative for the entirety of the human race and should be embraced as such.

They should start thinking about how to properly do this. However it's important to remember genetic diversity is ultimately humanities best chance at future survival.

Human genomic editing should only be done for genetic diseases or to correct epigenetic markers affecting the health of the individual, not affecting gametes

genetic modifications as in what? to save someone life? Or only because they want it?

Yes only if the technology is proven to be safe for use, because then it would be like taking a medical surgery for a health issue.

Yes, and nationalize it to make sure it is regulated properly and consistently.

Yes, it should only be used to prevent disabilities.

Yes, as long as CRISPR technology is safe and suitable for use.

if is regulated strictly and used for those who need it like people with immunity problems and not the highest bidder

I agree with the idea of genetically modifying people but private companies should be in control of that because the government will just millitarize it

Yes, but only after the CRISPR technology is suitable for use.

Maybe to fix any diseases or genetic differences and maybe to prevent disease from occurring in the human body but not to change a person.

Yes, but only moderate regulation so that a corporate monopoly can not happen

Can you name a potential positive or negative impact on nature and ecosystems if gene editing were widely applied outside humans?

What responsibility do you think we have to regulate how much technology like this is used in our society?

Would you personally use gene editing to eliminate a potential health issue in yourself or your family?

Could making genetic modifications increase social inequalities, or would it reduce them?

How would you feel if someone edited their DNA to increase intelligence—fair game, or unfair advantage?

Do you believe using science to extend human lifespan is more of an opportunity or a danger?

Should parents be allowed to use this kind of technology to select specific traits for their unborn children?

How do you feel about the idea of using technology to control future generations' traits or abilities?

Do you think altering human genes to eliminate disease crosses an ethical line, or is it just the next step in human evolution?

If you could change one genetic trait, what would it be and why?
