What Are the Ethical Considerations for CRISPR Technology?
CRISPR technology has revolutionized the field of genetic engineering, making it easier and more precise to edit DNA. However, its ease of use also raises ethical concerns. Who should have access to this technology? Should it be used for enhancements beyond therapeutic purposes, such as increasing intelligence or physical abilities? There is also the risk of off-target effects, where unintended parts of the genome are altered, potentially causing harm.
