Pick one major argument for or against genetic modification. Examine the strengths and weaknesses of each side it presents, from moral or scientific viewpoints.

If the public were to be consulted about the ethical concerns, what do you think would be the general consensus? Would they undermine these issues to use CRISPR or not?

Analyze and infer possible outcomes that can occur when CRISPR fully develops their genetic editing. Also, infer what would be the next step of genetic editing for society. Support the response with logical reasoning and evidence of why you might think this is true.

Examine the ethical issues that could arise from the ability of CRISPR to not only prevent disease, but to also alter offspring in other ways such as their appearance, and devise a way to prevent these issues from arising.

Analyze the potential consequences can branch out from the previously mentioned extermination of mosquitoes due to genome editing. How do you think it will affect the ecosystem? And branching off that question, how do you think CRISPR can affect any ecosystem as a whole?

With the idea that the experiment is successful on humans, would this experiment be given out to everyone who needs it or would it be a case of whether the receiver has a lot of money? In other words, would this experiment be for the rich or for everyone?

Evaluate when CRISPR would most likely edit the genetic information. Support your answer with evidence from the article and your previous knowledge about the cell cycle.

Explain what kind of consequences the CRISPR might bring to many ecosystems around the world.

How might CRISPR genome editing
affect the society that we live in? Would it be for the better? Would it be for the worse? Explain your reasoning for either position. How does the introduction of genetic modification relate to the short story, "Harrison Bergeron"?

Analyze the possible conflicts that could surface from the lack of an universal definition for genetic modification.

Does CRISPR have enough benefits to be worthy of continuing with the project despite all the different consequences it may have.

What do you think is the potential for CRISPR to abuse this power and turn against society?

Stephanie Hong

What possible debates can be made on an individual's values and religions? Are they being considered by society? Will CRISPR affect future generations for the better or for the worse?

Leo Shim

Describe consequences or potential risks are there for the ecosystem when using CRISPR. Examine the relationship between the functions of gRNA and Cas9.

Compare and contrast the different arguments presented in the article.

What would the public have to say about CRISPR? Would they be willing to go through gene editing despite all the mistakes that can happen or the alternations that the researchers may regret?

How can CRISPR benefit the society? Are their methods ethical?

Isaac Cho

We ponder on the thought of whether CRISPR is beneficial to us and our future generations but we must also ask ourselves is CRISPR helpful to the environment? Will allowing people to use CRISPR affect the environment, we live in, in anyway, will if have negative effects on the environment we live in?

One of the possible features of using CRISPR is the elimination of some species or bringing back extinct animals. However, would this even be seen as morally correct, and how greatly would this effect the current ecosystems of our planet? Would eliminating or re-introducing a new species really be a good thing to do?

Those who would most likely be against the idea of gene-editing, especially in humans, are religious people. In history we learned about the problem between religious groups. With that idea, if the use of CRISPR is allowed in the future, what do you think would happen to the society and the relationship between those with religious beliefs and those who support gene-editing in humans?
