... Maybe not, which is why some background information on the advancements of biotechnology and its contributions to genetic enhancement are in order.
First of all, when I refer to genetic enhancement, I am specifically talking about the idea of going into human DNA, adding genes, removing genes, and ultimately manipulating the genetic code of a human to change and enhance their attributes. This could mean either taking out the “mistakes” within a person’s genes or further enhancing the genetic attributes of a person. ... These are the possibilities that genetic enhancement has brought forth to the science of biotechnology.
With these in mind, this now brings one to consider the pros and cons of genetic enhancement. ...
Essentially, genetic modification has the potential to create a massive breakdown in the nature of human society. ... This is why I feel that the smart thing to do would be to strictly regulate what we do with the knowledge we gain about the human genetic code. The key to this issue is to realize that with knowledge comes power; the power to either utilize it for the common good or to give people the chance to take advantage of the possibility of genetic enhancement.
