Instruction: Identify the assumptions that must hold for the statement to be valid, then choose the correct option. Statement: The rapid advancement in gene editing technologies such as CRISPR offers immense potential for curing genetic disorders, but it also raises concerns about the ethical implications of editing the human genome. Assumptions: I. Gene editing technologies can potentially cure genetic disorders. II. Ethical concerns are a natural consequence of advancing gene editing technologies. III. The potential for gene editing to cure genetic disorders outweighs the ethical concerns.
Only I and II are implicit
Assumption I: The statement explicitly says CRISPR "offers immense potential for curing genetic disorders". This presupposes that gene editing can potentially cure genetic disorders. Implicit.
Assumption II: The statement says the technology "raises concerns about the ethical implications". For the second clause to make sense, it is assumed that ethical concerns naturally accompany such advancement. Implicit.
Assumption III: The statement only juxtaposes potential and concerns; it does not weigh one against the other. So this is a value judgement not assumed by the statement. Not implicit.
Only I and II are implicit. Hence, the answer is option A.
