RE: Should gene editing technology be used to remove the violent predisposition?
Having a gene means nothing. Its the expression of that gene that matter.
Your environment is what controls your gene expression. Healthy behaviors encourage healthy gene expression. The opposite is true for unhealthy behaviors.
The biohacking solution has to be a voluntary decision. It will be a brave new world if we give the state power to do medical interventions against people without their consent. Especially when the intervention is against a person's own genes.
There are genes involved with addiction too. It is shown people who have these genes for alcoholism for example are more likely to die from alcoholism. If these people could shut these genes off should they?
If you have a gene which makes you vulnerable to an early death or harder than average life why would you not shut the gene off? If you have a gene which could get people killed why would you not shut it off?
