Although gene-editing poses many risks, we believe that when exclusively used for plants under strict regulation, it can be a positive technology that enables society to advance. With respect to how new gene editing is on human subjects, both the unforeseen and acknowledged risks greatly outweigh the potential benefits. With that said, the fine line between genetically manipulating babies for wellness or vanity is not as clear as it should be. If the higher class, who are more capable of engaging in such procedures, take strides to optimize unnecessary features in designer babies, say, athleticism, the difference in social classes would become even more distinct; driving an already strict social system to the edge. Until there is an ethical means to navigate genetic engineering among humans, we should closely regulate the use of genetic modification. In terms of plants, however, factors regarding ethicality and practicality are greatly reduced. For example, creating more resistant plants pose no risks to the environment nor humans or other plants. Rather, optimizing their function can help reduce climate change as few resources are depleted the achieve the same results. With all these factors considered, we stand that genetic engineering leads a positive impact only when used on plants.
