editing might lead to greater social inequality because
only wealthy people could afford ‘designer babies’ with
selected traits. In addition, some fear that using gene
editing on other organisms could have harmful effects on
the environment. Because of these concerns, the global
scientific community has called for a temporary ban on
human germline editing until society can reach a wider
agreement. Although gene editing shows enormous
promise for medical progress, carefully considering its
long-term effects and creating regulations are essential for
ensuring that it is used responsibly.
