If a company developed a way to modify a person's DNA to guarantee certain attributes in offspring, should that company be forced to make their technology available to everyone who wanted it? What are some of the ramifications of widespread use of this type of genetic engineering technology on humankind?​

Yes, however, random people should not just be taught because people have a tendency to not follow every step, and can hurt themselves. I learned about this, and that if you modify a persons DNA, that's permanent. If you messed up, your offspring could be impacted. This is why we don't just give out information, because people are afraid that if we messed up, we could end the world or something.
