the risk of transmitting serious diseases can decrease however, people use it to alter physical features (eg. eye colour) which is controversial.
Additionally, there is a controversy around the rights of the baby

# data[].attributes.body
the editing of genes can affect other genes and other places in the DNA. the precise effects of genetically editing an embryo is unknown until after birth. Changes made on the gene can be passed on for many generations so if its bad it will affect all of the generations so it is controversial

1. privacy
- dna is unique
- may share your dna with researchers or others who want to profit off DNA business
- hackers might try to steal your dna

2. may not be accurate
- different companies have different conclusions drawn from our dna
- much dna research is done on people with european heritage

its okay. safe for da humans, da fish and da environment . it also ensures that the fish will survive harsh conditions, and that there will be fish all year round. soooo true bestie. if you want da fish then i guess u can eat it

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's okay as long as not too many of the modified mosquitoes are released, otherwise the ecosystem may be affected

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think it is very unethical. The fish will be able to survive extreme cold waters and continue to develop. This will help the genetically modified fish to survive harsh elements and produce growth hormones all year. The genes that are inserted are from other fish such as Chinook Salmon and Ocean Pout, so it is safe for human consumption. However, it might not help humans that significantly, so there is not a dire need to produce GM salmon.

# data[].attributes.body
it is not unethical because the Wolbachia is a naturally occuring bacterium which mean the mosquito is not a genetically modified organism

# data[].attributes.body
GM salmon is not an absolute need for humans at the moment and could be harmful to wild fish populations. It probably wouldn't even help food shortage that much considering its accessibility and price.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is controversial for people to be able to "edit" away the genetic imperfections of their children and dictate how their child looks and possibly the emotional quotient and intelligence of their children. The ethics of gene manipulation is debatable (allowing science to guide human evolution instead of nature) and gene manipulation may also cause harm to the baby.

I think that if it is used for fighting deadly and otherwise incurable diseases, CRISPR technology could really bring a lot of benefit to the human race, and extend the expected lifespan of people. It has the potential of preventing people from the pain/suffering that comes with diseases :(

# data[].attributes.body
GM salmon may not be entirely safe for the environment and poses potential risks to consumers. Now, it is not entirely necessary. i believe that further investigations should be made to conclude its effect on the environment. if it has no adverse effects on the environment and does not pose a risk to humans, i do not think there is anything wrong with it as a product.

# data[].attributes.body
It should not be used for commercial use. It is easy to edit embryos in illegal fertility clinics which is unethical and also could be dangerous for the child. Also, when genes are edited, other DNA near it can get affected so if people use such tech unnecessarily then such issues could arise

# data[].attributes.body
This technology defintiely has many benefits and allow for the treatment of many diseases such as HIV. However, on the other hand, being able to choose which genes one's baby has is unethical

# data[].attributes.body
^^ agreed with the above
but to add on:
2. may not be accurate since the tests are done at home and not by medically certified professionals
3. Type of test done
is exome sequencing and not genome sequencing (more detailed) so results are not as accurate

"I think that it is ethical because we dont harm mosquitoes in the process, like they dont die. They just stop harming humans. Ya, Ya. NO ORGANISMS RELY HEAVILY ON MOSQUITOES SO IT IS FINE TO GET RID OF THEM." - emma

"i think its ok because we only stop them from reproducing. But, this may affect the ecosystem." - qh

# data[].attributes.body
it is unethical as some clinics may not have the proper technology for genetic modification of babies and can cause the embryo to be terminated in the process. Also, the embryo was not given the choice to object to it.

# data[].attributes.body
There are some pros and cons.
Pros:
- significantly reduces population of biting mosquitoes
- little to no effect on local environments since they didn’t belong there to begin with

cons:
- manipulating the ecosystem, unethical
- mutations might occur, which can pose a serious threat

# data[].attributes.body
its okay as long as it doesn't harm humans or the environment, but the risks of GM salmon mixing with the wildlife natural species is high and thus if food shortage is not an issue, GM salmon shouldn't be encouraged

# data[].attributes.body
It can be concerning should the GM salmon mixes with the wildlife species and affect them negatively or disrupt the ecosystem due to overpopulation
