Based on the visit of the laboratory
What are you careful about when applying it?
It is to distribute too much and widen the gap between rich and poor. For example, editing genomes is very expensive. So, it will become a technology that mainly distributes to people of wealthy people. So the gap between rich and poor spreads. Also, saying "Do not cross an invisible line". Researchers need ethical sense of well-being. So, researchers need to have ethics.
Also, when applied to human beings, there are both sides of ethical aspects and feelings of patients, drawing is difficult. It is not something to do easily, and concerns about off-target effects (for example, the effect different from the original, which would make the hair brown, although you want to make your eyes brown). Therefore, it is necessary for ordinary people to understand exactly what kind of technology and what kind of risk is the genome editing technology.
What do you think about the future?
Regarding laws and regulations, laws and regulations are not yet implemented yet, but it will become necessary in the future. It is urgent for the country to prepare laws. However, it is too severe to narrow down the heads of researchers, and the government must avoid situations where technology does not develop.
Indeed, I was able to broaden my opinion. Thank you very much.
