This is the part that I am struggling with! I don't see how a pause will be when these advancements have been made without oversight, and have resulted in real scientific advancement, and of course unheard-of corporate gains for the companies leading the charge.
I feel like Sen. Sanders' proposal misses the mark on the economic and scientific implications of what is happening within these labs. Sure, yes, safe technological development 'should matter' the most. But that has not been the case. The summary sounds like a fear-mongering blanket ban... hoping that isn't the case (because regulation would be awesome), but it's not looking great.
