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.

Not more than other health regulations, scientist need some freedom to come up with new technologies
@B34HX871mo1MO
Yes, but only to prevent the creation of "designer babys", but not for the correction of various generic diseases and aliments.
@B2WGS2X1mo1MO
No, CRISPR should not be regulated beyond what any other medical research is. Introducing further regulation to medical research, using CRISPR as a straw man, is just political puffery meant to attract votes from laymen by exploiting fears and concerns around genetic research.
@9VMB7Y86mos6MO
I feel it can be used, but it would make everyone less unique. It would benefit chances of being bullied however if puts the world at a disadvantage because individuals are no longer different.
@B2FGBGV2mos2MO
Yes, as long as it is heavily monitored so that no unnecessary human modifications (i.e., those that are not for health issues) occur
@9X86DB35mos5MO
maybe, external party should also be apart of regulating, checking, and signing off.
@9W7FMBV5mos5MO
Yes but also, there should be exceptions like amputees, visually impaired and retarded people.
@9VPLW8R6mos6MO
i hate genetic modificatons stay as what u are born as
