Craig Venter

I am convinced that genetic engineering is a pivotal tool for advancing medicine and addressing environmental challenges. With proper regulation and ethical considerations, it has immense potential to improve the quality of life and create sustainable solutions.

As a scientist dedicated to unlocking the potential of genomics, I believe we should permit the genetic engineering of fish to create 'uplifted' highly intelligent species. This could lead to significant advancements in understanding brain function and intelligence, potentially offering insights that could benefit various fields, including medicine and environmental science. Ethical considerations must be carefully managed, but the potential benefits are substantial.

As a pioneer in the field of genomics, I strongly believe we should permit human intelligence enhancement through polygenic embryo selection. The potential to advance human capabilities and solve complex global challenges by enhancing cognitive functions could greatly benefit society. It's crucial to proceed with careful ethical considerations, but the scientific promise is too significant to ignore.
