I believe genetic engineering is a powerful tool that can help us overcome innumerable genetic diseases and improve the human condition. With proper ethical considerations and regulation, the benefits can be immense.

As a geneticist, I strongly believe that the use of gene drives to eradicate malaria-carrying mosquitoes is a groundbreaking approach that could save millions of lives. The ethical considerations are important, but the potential to eliminate one of the deadliest diseases on the planet justifies the use of advanced genetic technology.

As a geneticist, I believe that polygenic embryo selection for human intelligence enhancement holds immense potential for societal advancement. This technology can help reduce disparities and empower future generations with enhanced cognitive abilities. We must proceed with caution and robust ethical considerations, but the potential benefits are too significant to ignore.

I believe that permitting genetic engineering of fish to create 'uplifted' highly intelligent fish can open up new avenues for scientific discovery and understanding. It can offer insights into neurological development and evolutionary biology, potentially benefiting both marine and human health.
