Some of the negative risks of gene editing include:

• The potential to create new genetic diseases.
• The potential to accidentally alter the DNA of other organisms, such as the food we eat.
• The potential to be used for unethical purposes, such as creating designer babies or super soldiers.

Here are five strategies I would use to advocate for a legislative change in my state to influence insurance coverage for gene editing:

1. Educate policymakers about the potential benefits and risks of gene editing. This would help them to make informed decisions about whether or not to support insurance coverage for this treatment.
2. Form a coalition of patients, healthcare providers, and scientists who support insurance coverage for gene editing. This would help to amplify the voice of those who are most affected by this issue.
3. Lobby policymakers to pass legislation that would require insurance companies to cover gene editing. This would ensure that patients have access to this treatment, regardless of their ability to pay.
4. Generate public support for insurance coverage for gene editing. This could be done through public education campaigns, social media, and other forms of advocacy.
5. File a lawsuit against insurance companies that refuse to cover gene editing. This would force the courts to weigh in on this issue and could ultimately lead to changes in insurance coverage.

These are just a few of the strategies that could be used to advocate for legislative change in the area of gene editing. The specific strategies that are most effective will vary depending on the specific circumstances.
