What are the ethical and social implications of these technologies?

The use of emerging technologies in the context of genetic diseases raises significant ethical and social implications, including:

• Unintended consequences: The use of these technologies can have unintended consequences, such as off-target effects or long-term health risks.
• Equity and access: The benefits of these technologies may not be equally accessible to all, leading to social disparities.
• Genetic enhancement: The potential for using these technologies to enhance traits beyond those necessary for health and well-being raises ethical concerns.
