Gene Editing 2026 (Period 8 and 9) by Peter Schwartz

Gene Editing

Yes because there are so many benefits of gene editing, but there needs to be a limit.

Because if a cell is edited correctly they could be faulty or broken.

Gene Editing

I think it should be allowed, but should list all the possible ways it could go wrong like in medicine commercials to insure that people know the risk the gene editing can pose. We should set limits like only a certain amount of the population can do it so that humans don't mutate as a whole. Another reason to limit this is so people don't ruin or mess up their DNA.

yes because there are so many benefits of gene editing but there should be a limit cuz cell edited correctly they could be broken

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:02:34 UTC

I think Yes, because it are lots of benefits but I think there should be some regulation because there is a chance it could go bad

yes because their are many good things that come with gene editing but I think only certain people with experience around it should be able to use it because if you don't know what your doing bad things could happen

I think that there are a lot of benefits to gene editing. But it could go wrong because like in medicine commercials and a lot of other stuff but I think it is good. I think there should be a limit because if they take it to far then stuff is going to get bad.

Do you think gene editing should be permitted with humans? Do we need to set limits? Why or why not?

2026-04-06 18:04:30 UTC

Yes, I think gene editing should be permitted for humans, but with ethically and scientifically backed regulations that allow for only necessary uses. It could definitely positively affect the medical industry, which alone would be enough to sway me.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:04:48 UTC

yes, because there are a lot of benefits to it but there should be limits. for example if it is not done correctly someones body could be in harm's way.

Gene Editing Response (From yes, THE Matthew)

2026-04-06 18:05:53 UTC

I believe that gene editing should be permitted with humans because many positives include assistance with cancer prevention, plant growth, and a lot of other things. However there are negatives, but it doesn't make as much of an impact as the positives do. But yes, limits need to be set because without them, the technology we use to achieve gene editing could go overboard and might result in DNA concerns that will be hard to fix. It is a very precise procedure to do so, but it should be permitted with limits too.

2026-04-06 18:06:24 UTC

1#-I think that gene editing should be only handled by professionals to lower the risk of accidents.

2#-yes, we do need limits because if humans keep modifying themselves there will be a point in which they cannot live without it there will be a mistake risking the lives of billions.

I think that even tho there are benefits to it I also think that you should not do it since it can go left and will leads to harms way.

2026-04-06 18:06:47 UTC

yes I think because people can have it like a type of cure or solutions to some diseases in case of an emergency 🤔

2026-04-06 18:07:30 UTC

2026-04-06 18:07:44 UTC

I say yes because there are many benefits in gen editing. mostly there can be an outcome of gen editing that can go wrong in many ways but gen editing could also help protect humans.

gene editing

2026-04-06 18:08:27 UTC

Yes because it can have health benefits like taking the DNA that makes a person have a disease and replace it.

But I do think there should be limits because you could replace a gene that doesn't need to be replaced like the gene to have a certain eye color. Like it said in the first video, someone could customize a baby, I think that's not a good thing to do with the technology we have.

Gene editing

2026-04-06 18:08:39 UTC

I think that gene editing should be permitted, because of its helpful effects. In the ed-puzzle it talks about how it can help with cancer can control other issues. Though, I don't think that it should be used for editing appearance or non-health reliaed issues. I also think that it should be regulated by scientist to make sure it is being used correctly and for the right purposes.

I think it could help if people needed a cure for a disease that is hard to cure but i would worry that thee would be side effects and it could harm people.

Gene Editing

I think that gene editing could be a wonderful option for people that really need it, such as younger children and babies with cancer. However, there are a lot of ways that gene editing could quickly turn bad, which is why we need to have restrictions. Many of the reasons why people want to have access to genome editing is because they have a lethal disease. In this way, it is ok to help them by rearranging some of their genes, but to make babies and other people more desirable is not an option.

Gene editing

2026-04-06 18:09:18 UTC

I think it should be allowed because it is very helpful to take down diseases that kill many people a year. This technology could save millions of lives and allow people to live longer and happier. On the other side there are some possible negatives like microbe diseases, I think that we would be able to refine this technology well enough to prevent that. There is also a point that it might become a create your own baby type thing but we could ban that from happening because that could lead to genetic problems within the baby's body. So in summary I think that we could benefit as long as we regulate how gene therapy is being used.

gene editing

2026-04-06 18:09:21 UTC

I think it would be good for humans because it can decrease the chances of getting some diseases and it can also have a lot of benefits, but it can also have some risks so you have to be careful with the risks.

gene editing

2026-04-06 18:19:51 UTC

I think that Gene editing should be allowed bu heavily regulated because people will want to make their babies as beautiful as possible but it could come with downsides like health effects or not being able to do certain things. it could be used to get rid of down syndrome or bodily functions.

gene editing

2026-04-06 18:53:39 UTC

I think gene editing would be good to cure an amount of diseases and other body disfunctions. But there should be limits.

Gene Editing

jlfriend — 2026-04-06 18:56:28 UTC

I think that we should pursue gene editing because there are a lot more benefits than risks. I mean there are some risks like creating bad microviruses and if something bad happens with the gene editing, then it will get passed down. On the other hand is the benefits, and there's a lot of them. First, it could help with the health of babies and genetic sicknesses. Second, it can help with the problem of cancer by reprogamming immune cells. Lastly, it helps with curing genetic disorders that were caused by gene mutations. I think that there should be limitations because there's still a chance that something bad might happen and if you didn't have any limits on that then there would probably be a lot of people with mistakes in their editing.

I do think that gene editing should be allowed for humans but it should be heavily regulated.

Gene editing

2026-04-06 18:57:18 UTC

I think that it should be allowed because it can massive health benefits here's an example, with mosquitos they are trying to have them not spread malaria by using gene editing. Although I only think it should be done professionally to reduce the risk of genetic mutations that are bad.

tkburstein — 2026-04-06 18:57:35 UTC

I think that we should allow gene editing for people with genetic diseases such as cancer, lukemia and HIV. For people with terminal conditions gene editing could be their only hope to keep living.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:58:05 UTC

I think we should have very heavy regulations on this and only use this when we know that someone is going to have a genetic disored that would restrict them from living their life

Gene editing.

enyin — 2026-04-06 18:58:42 UTC

I believe that gene editing should be permitted with humans since it would mean that we have less health risks, though I think that it should be limited and we shouldn't take advantage. And, it should only be done by professionals.

gene editing

2026-04-06 18:59:24 UTC

I think that gene editing is good for some things but some things it's better to leave it by itself. But there is a lot of cures that can happen like cancer and other stuff

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:59:38 UTC

I think it could be good but also could be dangerous and maybe used for bad stuff.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:59:50 UTC

I think gene Editing should be allowed in moderation, I think doctors should use it for diseases and hereditary affects like cancer, diabetes, etc. But I don't think we should be allowed to use it to "build a better baby" or edit our characteristics. I think it could be extremely helpful to the medical field but would not be beneficial to edit our looks.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 18:59:59 UTC

In my opinion, I think that gene editing should be permitted with humans like us but we need to do it the proper way. My reason for that is because it would be a amazing option for humans that are in need for it, such as babies that have been diagnosed with cancer. But it could be a problem sometimes, which is why we need to use it the proper way.

2026-04-06 19:02:22 UTC

I think that we should use it to help cure sickness and disease but not other stuff like making your children how you want them or doing it in any babys cause it might cause bad damage to them and it should only be used to cure stuff

gene editing

2026-04-06 19:02:28 UTC

I think gene editing should be a thing with humans but it should be limited, because the benefits are good for like helping with cancer and leukemia but if gene editing is used to much to will start to look like pick your baby.

Gene editing

2026-04-06 19:02:52 UTC

Yes, I think gene editing should be allowed because of all the benefits, like children being resistant to some major diseases, it will also help prevent some forms of cancer, and it will cure many other sicknesses making humans stronger. Even though there are some negatives like something going wrong there are a lot more reasons why we should allow gene editing.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 19:05:31 UTC

I think that gene editing should be allowed but it should have restrictions on what genes people can edit. It could be good to help people whose children would be born with a much higher chance of sicknesses and genetic malfunctions. It also ends up being used in bad ways instead of helping people. Also if you alter too many genes is it still the same person genetically or are their genes no longer theirs? If it is used to help people when their lives would be very difficult then it is good and should be done but should not go too far. There should be governmental guidelines.

Gene Editing

2026-04-06 23:12:48 UTC

I think that gene editing should be allowed because it could take down diseases, which could save millions of lives and allow them to live longer. Although it should have restrictions on what genes change, for example building a better person or editing someone's characteristic, because taking advantage to edit out looks, should not be permitted, instead used on medical field to save people's life.
