hmm are there any religious reasons to oppose gene editing? this seems like a question not answered directly by texts but im sure Jewish and Catholic theologians at least can derive a stance (or several each)https://twitter.com/ellegist/status/1314133656328458243 …

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 …

mm this is fair, I just can’t see genetic monocultures emerging to such a great extent that it would be an issue look how different people’s lifestyle choices are, even those with equal levels of money etc

The problem with gene editing is that we don't have a single clue about what we're doing. We do not have enough experiments done in a controlled setting to predict what might happen. Heck, we don't even have a working theory yet. Too much risk and the payoff is not for yourself.
