To answer whether or not this technology is safe is dependent on the regulation of the production of this technology alongside its commercial distribution as this will inevitably hit the commercial market for consumers. The question as to how safe it is is going to depend on the use and creation of this technology, whether we are willing to allow for major corporations to have substantial control and gate keeper status in the market by excluding working class people from being subject to genetic therapy. This technology may not be initially in the cost range of even the wealthiest middle class consumer and this creates not just an exclusionary market but it creates a new social paradigm of the wealthy having perhaps the sense of genetic superiority in the purest sense in comparison to the working class. This can create a new dynamic which in history we have seen in terms of social perception on the value of one’s genetics referring to eugenics and race based sciences that dominated the past, and in this way through genetic modification being an exclusive product of the wealthy can replicate and exaggerate the negative dynamics that are in place in racism and historical eugenics. The safety of the technology is in it of itself pegged towards the ethical nature of how it is regulated and used so I believe those are necessarily things that can be separated when talking about the safety and ethical value and nature of genetic editing and therapy. I also recognize its useful benefits in terms of maximizing economic and social productivity as well as minimizing the costs of health defects and genetic diseases that have plagued humanity since their existence, since the very nature of these diseases lie in the nature of our genetics and how they have mutated throughout history, with the development of genetic editing we could lessen these impacts. I believe that there must be a useful balance in terms of all developing technologies which create morally ambiguous ethical dilemmas, to regulate as well as allow for innovation to occur, as the development of technology is inevitable. What we must do is regulate it to the point of maximizing the usefulness of the technology, but we also have to crate the infrastructure in which we can trust that our government has the ability to regulate and prevent the negative overflows of rapid innovation within any field of science but in particular to genetic editing it is absolutely necessary that there be a concrete plan of action and proactive approach in minimizing the costs of genetic editing onto society as well as minimize the potential for a sort of genetic inequality and the dynamics that that can potentially bring.
