CRISPR gene editing, especially CRISPR-Cas9, raises key ethical concerns. One issue is unintended mutations that could cause new health problems, especially when edits are heritable. There’s also the risk of inequality, where only wealthy individuals can access genetic enhancements, leading to “designer babies.”

Consent is another concern, since future generations cannot agree to genetic changes made to them. In addition, misuse of the technology could pose biosecurity risks.

I believe CRISPR has great potential to treat diseases, but it must be strictly regulated to ensure safe, fair, and responsible use.
