Should the government fund research into genetic engineering for disease prevention and treatment?

Yes with solid boundaries in place and ban gain of function to enhance adverse effects and f diseases

The government should be looking into more alternative practises to help one’s health and not look at everyone as short term healing rather then long term

More research needs to be done before we can decide

Yes, as long as there is full transparency of the research and how it has it's benefits & cons, as well as there is peer review studies to also back up the science behind said research in regards to this.

Yes, with conditions for research within ethical borders and does not go into practical testing prior to all potential ethical and safety concerns being checked

Only for diseases and genetic disorders that severely affect a person’s physical and mental wellbeing

Depending on when they stop what are there ethical barriers?

Yes, but only for serious and more common diseases

Is it more dangerous for us to not explore the benefits of genetic engineering, or to take the risk of using it without fully understanding the consequences?

They should ban such development. It is clearly dangerous

Should all people have equal access to genetic engineering, or is it okay if only those who can afford it use it?

How would you feel if genetic engineering could allow you to choose certain traits in your future children?

Do you think altering genes to eliminate diseases crosses an ethical line, or is it just a natural progression of science?

Would you want to know if your DNA had been engineered, or do you think the results matter more than the process?

How might society change if everyone could eliminate health risks or enhance abilities using genetic engineering?

Is there a trait or characteristic you would want to change about yourself if genetic modification were available?

What fears come to mind when you think about modifying the DNA of living organisms, and are those fears valid?

Maybe, but it would have to be with complete transparency, guidelines and regulations. Also, no one should ever be forced to participate or take these things!

How do you think genetically modified humans would be treated in society—is it more likely to bring equality or division?

Would you support genetic engineering if it were only used for medical purposes, or does that still raise concerns for you?
