Not globally by any means. That's like saying you would have to enforce chocolate slave labor standards globally.
Just don't buy it from other countries.
It's not like it's nuclear proliferation, which failed anyway. It's a wicked, harmful technology that does more harm than good. Once it's banned here and the firehose of lies stops, it'll die out in any place that actually wants to look at the data. And the places that don't will die out from using it.
If they want to give their populations turbo cancer, I say let them.
Being behind in an arms race is not a position you want to find yourself in.
An arms race for giving yourself cancer?
An arms race for whatever unforeseen benefits can be derived from a technology that allows for altering a human's genetic information on the fly.
Let me go ahead and spoil it for you. There aren't any. Messenger RNA is broken at the conceptual level. It is the Ford Pinto of medicine.
It doesn't do what it claims to do, it just gives you cancer, makes men have heart problems and makes women sterile.
Sounds like 1000 times more harm than good. Humans are not software to be edited or commodities to be grown in a lab and sold. There are lines that shouldn't be crossed no matter how many people it would allegedly help. Much more loss than benefit and ends don't justify means anyway.
