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.

I think there should be some restrictions to ensure that there is not too much regulation that could cause problems.
@9RBNFB75mos5MO
Human genomic editing should only be done for genetic diseases or to correct epigenetic markers affecting the health of the individual, not affecting gametes
@9R4Q69P5mos5MO
genetic modifications as in what? to save someone life? Or only because they want it?
@9QZTDKH5mos5MO
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.
@9QW7TQZ6mos6MO
Yes, and nationalize it to make sure it is regulated properly and consistently.
@9PGWNV46mos6MO
Yes, it should only be used to prevent disabilities.
@9P8NRFM 6mos6MO
Yes, as long as CRISPR technology is safe and suitable for use.
@9NLZHKS7mos7MO
if is regulated strictly and used for those who need it like people with immunity problems and not the highest bidder
