We'd never have developed vaccines with that attitude, though. The Precautionary Principle sounds great in theory, but it's a recipe for permanent stasis.
This isn't the precautionary principle, which is much more extreme. This is recognizing that "move fast and break things" is not a good idea in medicine.
One major foul up with human gene editing and the technology will be banned for at least a generation. Think about that.
