Strongly agree

Yes

The New Zealand National Party has historically supported regulatory oversight in areas involving new technologies, especially those with ethical, health, and safety implications. For example, the party has supported the Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act, which regulates genetic modification in New Zealand. While the National Party is generally pro-innovation and business-friendly, it has not advocated for a completely deregulated approach to biotechnology, particularly in sensitive areas like human genetic modification. Therefore, they would likely agree with government regulation of CRISPR technology for human use.

Strongly disagree

No

The National Party is unlikely to support a completely unregulated approach to CRISPR and human genetic modification, given the potential ethical, social, and health risks. Their historical support for regulatory frameworks in biotechnology, such as their stance on GMOs and the existing regulatory environment in New Zealand, suggests they would disagree with a 'no regulation' stance. They may advocate for balanced, science-based regulation rather than outright bans, but not for a laissez-faire approach.
