Yes, while ensuring ethical research that does not lead to supporting ideals such as selective reproduction or eugenics
@clbcarman 6mos6MO
Yes, but only to treat agreed-upon classified diseases, as going beyond this is a slippery slope to eugenics.
@9TM97YS5mos5MO
Yes but they need to be very careful and only use research for diseases because this could easily lead to dark places like eugenics.
@9QT5LY3 7mos7MO
Yes, however only after ensuring their is no risks in doing so and also at the consent of the people
@9WCWFBK4mos4MO
Yes, so long as the general public are not subject to it without their consent or knowledge. Fluoridation and its origin being a good example as to why health being in the hands of the federal government with the absolute final say is a bad idea.
@9PPZHFZ8mos8MO
No, as this could be misused for eugenics purposes.
@9S739LH6mos6MO
Yes, however the government should also fund programs for lifestyle changes that can help to prevent and treat diseases
