高2・共テ向け｜英語長文問題80（遺伝子）136語＋和訳・解答解説

Gene editing is a scientific technology that allows researchers to change DNA inside living cells. One well-known method is CRISPR, which works like tiny scissors that can cut genes at specific points. By using this technology, scientists hope to treat genetic diseases, improve crops, and reduce the spread of some illnesses. For example, it may help people who are born with serious conditions caused by a single gene. However, gene editing also raises important questions. Some people worry about safety, because changes to genes could have unexpected results. Others are concerned about how far humans should go in changing life. As research continues, many experts agree that clear rules and careful testing are necessary to use gene editing in a responsible way, so that benefits are shared fairly and risks are kept as low as possible.

Which two statements are NOT supported by the passage?

1. CRISPR is already used widely to create designer babies.
2. Gene editing can be aimed at curing illnesses caused by DNA.
3. Scientists expect gene editing could help make crops stronger.
4. Many people think strict guidelines are needed for safe use.
5. Most people agree gene editing has no risks at all.
6. Some people worry gene changes might lead to unexpected effects.
