Hi, welcome to the discussion panel! The goal of discussion panels is to bring exciting, topics in science and have discussions led by subject area experts.
The scientific community hasn't fully established norms about what is acceptable and what isn't because it recognizes the value of caution when we are talking about a change that will impact not just a few, but down the line will impact the composition of the entire human gene pool. 'Playing god' in this scenario doesn't mean 'making important decisions'. It means 'treating science as miraculous'. Would love to hear your opinion about this topic!
