We asked “If a gene therapy that added fifty years of life was safe and effective, should parents be legally required to give it to their children?” Only a third of the 182 respondents thought mandatory gene therapy for longevity for kids was a good idea.

The plurality, 45%, didn’t know what to think about it. There are a lot of factors; safety, whether it is as effective after the age of majority, whether the parental objections are religious or pragmatic.
