PolymarketRules
Many people do not currently see gene editing to cure e.g., cancer, sickle-cell, or down syndrom as a clear moral good that humanity should be persuing.
- Will this change by 2030?
- Currently, I count ~40% of the most recent tweets containing the term "gene editing" as clearly negative; "gene therapy" is much, much worse.
- Twitter may not be the most approprite source by time of resolution, but I will try to find a broadly equivalnt source of popular opinion.
- When I look at statements of popular opinion, will at least 90% be positive or neutral? By default, I will treat technical statements of valid research as neutral, even if they show negative results or document risks.
- I will search for whatever term or terms are most commonly used in 2030.
