Our thoughts

Let's exchange opinions with everyone on how to develop genome editing technology! What do you think?

I agree. By using genome editing technology, we can easily cure diseases that we could not cure until now. Although research on genetic manipulation at the prenatal stage has been stopped now, it seems that genetic manipulation becomes possible not only before birth but also after birth if genome editing technology develops. If you do so, I think that there will be more people who will be able to save the possibility of healing even if it suffers from serious diseases such as AIDS, or it will be able to cure illness called so-called intractable disease.

I disagree the idea. I think that legal regulations are not enough and should not be accepted in view of ethical aspects. It can be thought of the destruction of the ecosystem and the influence on the human body. Also, if you apply it to people, there is no doubt that a horrible world will be created by increasing the number of people trying to satisfy the desire that has never been realistic, such as the problem of designer babies, while the probability of sickness improves. I think that it is the same as evolving such a terrible technique from now on will be destroyed.

How about Sawako?

I wonder if I approve with a condition. I think that it should be allowed to use for medical purposes, but it is dangerous to develop genome editing technology without laws and regulations. Because when it is used for something other than medical treatment, genetic manipulation which the person himself would not want is carried out, there is also the possibility that business using genomic editing technology etc. happens. In order not to cause such things, I think that we should develop rules and penalties firmly and develop genome editing technology firmly

Everyone had different opinions.

Yeah. But not every opinion is wrong, because it is caused by the difference in perspective, so it was good to have a different opinion.

Because this is our opinion to the last, everyone can have different opinion! Let's exchange opinions with everyone! !
