Proponents argue that regulation ensures safe and ethical use of the technology. Opponents argue that too much regulation could stifle innovation and scientific progress.

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.

In certain cases of genetic disorders it should be used but the use of it for aesthetic purposes is morally incorrect.
