The ethics with gene editing and the digitization of our DNA comes with a few concerns, mostly due to protections of the data. Though I’ve addressed my ethical concerns over the use of the data as well such as the possibility of discrimination, malicious use, and the theft of your own biometric data. Though this week’s reading addresses something new that I didn’t think of, the development of bioweapons. If a government was interested in the development of these weapons I don’t believe they would have much difficulty getting the required information, you could easily pick up a tourist of the desired background drum up a reason for false imprisonment and steal their DNA right there, after all this would most likely not be an ethical government doing this. As far as CRISPR technology is concerned I think there may be ethical concerns over bodily autonomy as most subjects I’d imagine would be unborn children, which brings up the concern of if it is okay to change someone’s DNA without their consent? Or is it okay since we just want the best for our children? Also we will have to wait lifetimes to ensure this gene manipulation does not have long term effects or health concerns before we can seriously consider doing it on a large scale.
