Genetic engineering involves modifying the DNA of organisms to prevent or treat diseases. Proponents argue that it could lead to breakthroughs in curing genetic disorders and improving public health. Opponents argue that it raises ethical concerns and potential risks of unintended consequences.

How would you feel if genetic engineering could allow you to choose certain traits in your future children?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Do you think altering genes to eliminate diseases crosses an ethical line, or is it just a natural progression of science?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would you want to know if your DNA had been engineered, or do you think the results matter more than the process?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How might society change if everyone could eliminate health risks or enhance abilities using genetic engineering?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Is there a trait or characteristic you would want to change about yourself if genetic modification were available?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
What fears come to mind when you think about modifying the DNA of living organisms, and are those fears valid?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Should all people have equal access to genetic engineering, or is it okay if only those who can afford it use it?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
How do you think genetically modified humans would be treated in society—is it more likely to bring equality or division?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Would you support genetic engineering if it were only used for medical purposes, or does that still raise concerns for you?
@ISIDEWITH3mos3MO
Is it more dangerous for us to not explore the benefits of genetic engineering, or to take the risk of using it without fully understanding the consequences?
