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.

If you could change one genetic trait, what would it be and why?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think altering human genes to eliminate disease crosses an ethical line, or is it just the next step in human evolution?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How do you feel about the idea of using technology to control future generations' traits or abilities?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Should parents be allowed to use this kind of technology to select specific traits for their unborn children?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you believe using science to extend human lifespan is more of an opportunity or a danger?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How would you feel if someone edited their DNA to increase intelligence—fair game, or unfair advantage?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Could making genetic modifications increase social inequalities, or would it reduce them?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would you personally use gene editing to eliminate a potential health issue in yourself or your family?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What responsibility do you think we have to regulate how much technology like this is used in our society?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Can you name a potential positive or negative impact on nature and ecosystems if gene editing were widely applied outside humans?
