Yes, this is our way to prevent diseases and for humanitys future development in this space.
LegalEagleAGAINST
I just think it's a line we shouldn't cross. Once we start editing embryos, there's no telling where it stops, and that feels like playing God with things we don't fully understand. It makes me uneasy, even if I can't explain why.
Round 2
myzyqwbywlyhFOR
New concepts like this that feel like straight out of a sci fi book always makes feel uneasy, but you have to udnerstand that research of spaces like these are the key for us to continue developing, computers and cameras and radios also felt uneasy for humans hudreds of years ago. Also "playing god with things we dont fully understand" if we dont start researching it we woll.never understand it, we should research it and that will lead to us fully understanding it and then it wont feel like playing god.
LegalEagleAGAINST
I get that preventing disease is a good thing, and you make a fair point there. But once we start editing embryos, where’s the line between curing something and just designing people? That slippery slope still scares me, even if I can’t fully argue against you.
Round 3
myzyqwbywlyhFOR
Well ill be honest, we might cross this line. But crossing lines like these is again, our way to the future.
LegalEagleAGAINST
I see what you mean about research leading to understanding, and that’s a fair point. But even with knowledge, I still worry about the choices we’d make with it. We might get better at editing embryos, but that doesn’t mean we should. It just feels too permanent.
