[quote=Anonymous]I can't wait until lawyers have to make decisions on the safety and efficacy of our medicine that require PhD level understanding of drug safety, biostatistics, clinical science, biochemistry, drug metabolism, immunology, genetics, veterinarian medicine, among a plethora of other technical knowledge.  Lol, ask a lawyer how many hours they've spent in lab handling and working with something like a CRISPR gene editor.  We are going to rely on a bunch of no knowledge legal buffoons that have zero background in engineering or science to make absolutely critical decisions that could impact the safety of the entire world around us.

The nightmare scenarios have no limits. Imagine lawyers and judges getting it wrong for something like crop biotechnology that proposed gene editing to make more disease resistant plants.  Oopssie, they idiot lawyers and judges with no scientific knowledge end up allowing a company to let a gene modified organism out into the wild and it causes a gene drive that ends up wiping out all native species and ends up failing as a crop.  It would be a catastrophe for food supplies or for so many other plants.  So many other nightmare scenarios can happen where you approve some kind of genetic medicine that gets into the wild and spreads throughout the propulsion on the planet because some idiot judge or lawyer that approved the product had zero technical expertise to even be able to adequate evaluate the risks for biocontaiment.

And that's just the tip of the iceberg. This is literally how we get Children of Men in real life.  A gene therapy that can replicate gets out because some idiot had the idea that it would be great to treat a disease, a stupid judge with no scientific education allows it to proceed, and the therapy ends up being shed into the wild where it ends up having unforeseen consequences like making people sterile.
