Ever seen the movie GATTACA?

Yes, though with caution.

It is going to happen. People will do things just because they can without ever really wondering if they really should.

I do think gene editing should be regulated, studied and modification procedures should have to be approved by an ethics panel. However, it should move forward in science. Just carefully.

I may be biased though, as I myself have a rare genetic mutation (Stargardt's Disease) which caused partial blindness. Also in my family there is a predisposition for diabetes.

It is a lot easier to be against gene editing when you have not suffered or are not at risk from genetic anomalies.

Voted "yes" because repression of technology has hardly ever managed to do anything but distort it.....sure, if theres a way to abuse it, it will be...but it seems to me that repression only means the good of it is held back.

The video show the positives but not the potential negatives. It will be interesting to find out what they will be. Until then I'm neither yeah or nay.

Why not gene therapy? I'm not so sure that this is playing god. Without using it we remain medically in the dark ages.

Does no good to fight or fret. Just do it and hope we can combat what evil stems from the ability.

You can't put a lid on technology anyway, if you do try, the worlds crime syndicates just make big profits and only the rich and criminal get the benefits.

Interesting video. Looks like this is the way to help eliminate diseases.

Doesn't matter...those so inclined will use it regardless. Only thing slowing its progress is cost. Until you can buy it like viagra it's a rich person's tool to design their kids.

Excellent video! The way to go..

I'm all for it
