@ellegist one secular conservative objection might simply be Chesterton what happens if we remove a lot of variation from large portions of the population? what are the emergent or systematic effects of moving toward a genetic monoculture? maybe hard to sayShow this thread -

Church has opinied on this (of course it has!) and is decidedly negative apart from medical cases I wonder if the social understanding of what's "medical" may end up being pretty flexible, thoughhttps://twitter.com/ChrisCroy/status/1314147854802452480?s=19 …

I suspect some natural law Catholics will argue that gene editing is unnatural, but it’s not clear how it’s any more unnatural than the other things listed above. Most of the opposition will come from an intuitive feeling that it’s playing God.
