Yes, but only if this prevents a child being born with a life threatening illness or deformity. Not for cosmetic or increase of brain, muscle or social ability.
@9PVDYGV6mos6MO
Yes, but for the prevention of serious genetic conditions rather than for so-called "designer babies"
@9NFTQNV7mos7MO
Yes, they should go through all ethics and research authorities before carrying out any form of modifications to human genetics.
@9MQM3KX7mos7MO
It depends on whether someone may be born with a genetic defect.
@9MNTBJJ7mos7MO
Yes, but only for things that are necessary and considered essential
@9ZNDRC41mo1MO
Yes but only for humans who would need it the most and could change their life i.e. people with certain disabilities which could be fixed.
