Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes

The Labour Party has historically supported the regulation of emerging technologies to ensure ethical standards, public safety, and equitable access. Given CRISPR's potential for significant societal impact, including ethical concerns around human genetic modification, it aligns with Labour's principles to advocate for government regulation. For instance, their approach to healthcare, emphasizing the National Health Service's role in providing equitable healthcare, suggests they would favor regulation to prevent inequalities in access to genetic modifications. Additionally, Labour's support for scientific research, with ethical oversight, as seen in their past manifesto commitments, indicates a predisposition towards regulating technologies like CRISPR.

Strongly disagree

No

The Labour Party's general stance on healthcare, science, and technology emphasizes the need for regulation to ensure safety, ethics, and public benefit. Their historical support for the regulation of medical and biotechnological advancements suggests they would likely oppose a laissez-faire approach to CRISPR technology. The party's commitment to addressing ethical, social, and health inequalities would further necessitate regulation to prevent misuse or unequal access to genetic modifications. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Labour Party would support an unregulated approach to human genetic modifications using CRISPR technology.
