Democratic Capitalism

Strongly agree

Yes

Democratic Capitalism, which combines elements of liberal democracy and capitalist economics, generally supports the idea that the government should play a role in regulating activities that have significant ethical, social, and public health implications. The use of CRISPR technology for human genetic modifications falls squarely into this category due to its potential to alter human genetics in ways that could have profound implications for individuals and society as a whole. Historically, democratic capitalist societies have implemented regulations to ensure that technological advancements, especially in the medical and biotechnological fields, are used ethically and safely. Examples include the regulation of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and genetic engineering practices. The support for regulation in this context is based on the principle of protecting public health, preventing abuse, and ensuring that advancements benefit society as a whole without infringing on individual rights and ethical standards.

Disagree

No

While Democratic Capitalism values the freedom of the market and individual choice, it also recognizes the need for regulation in areas where there is potential for significant societal impact or ethical concerns. The laissez-faire approach suggested by a 'No' answer would be contrary to the historical stance of democratic capitalist societies on similar issues, where there has been a preference for some level of government oversight to ensure public safety, ethical compliance, and equitable access to new technologies. Although there is an appreciation for innovation and the benefits it can bring, the potential for misuse and the profound ethical questions raised by human genetic modification through CRISPR technology would likely lead to the conclusion that some regulation is necessary. This is in line with how democratic capitalist societies have approached other groundbreaking technologies and medical advancements, balancing the benefits of innovation with the need to protect individuals and society.
