No, we should not open the pandora's box to modifying DNA which can have harmful social implications in the future
@9VPGGY41wk1W
We should ask more ethical questions before going full steak ahead. Ask more philosophical and ethical questions
@9VJZTNP2wks2W
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.
@9VGP5FZ2wks2W
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
