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 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.
@9QW7TQZ9mos9MO
Yes, and nationalize it to make sure it is regulated properly and consistently.
Yes, but only after the CRISPR technology is suitable for use.
@9NJKGTB11mos11MO
There should be no gender reassignment surgeries allowed
@9MXNDX311mos11MO
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.
@9MSXW7RNew Democratic11mos11MO
No, further studies and information to public needs to be released.
@B47D32W3wks3W
Yes, but only for ethical safety reasons. Regulation cannot be allowed to hamper the progress of such a critical and valuable technology.
@B3BWBNC2mos2MO
Depends on the type of modification. If we are using CRISPR with IVF to correct disease, I strongly support it. I am more against it if it is in relation to “designer babies”
@9RXS4P4 8mos8MO
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.
@9RJ6K3V9mos9MO
Yes, but all citizens should be ensured they have the inherent right to refuse medical treatments at all times.
@9RCBSYB9mos9MO
The government should regulate CRISPR with an eye to not regulating to the point of stifling innovation and scientific progress.
@9R4Q69P9mos9MO
genetic modifications as in what? to save someone life? Or only because they want it?
