Argument on Genetic Engineering
Is genetic engineering acceptable when useful to human beings or even more, at least in some cases necessary or is it rather to be said illegal? Some authors and books show a very positive attitude toward genetic engineering. If parents can decide about the school of their children and their education and also support some of their children’s talents then they can also be able to shape their child’s personality and control its formation. Then should parents not have the right to make the decision of using genetic engineering instead of education?
The achievement of genetic operation will result in a better quality of life for people. Nearly all diseases can possibly be cured. Cancer will be treated as cancer causing genetic defects will no longer be a problem. As a result of genetic testing, the prevention of risks is also a benefit. For instance, if I find that I am genetically liable to have a heart attack, I can reform my habits around my genetic characters. Or, if I know that I have a recessive gene for a disease, I will know not to have a child by another person with that gene. Also more than just medical benefits apply. If it is the result that genes open the power of the mind, than who is to say that someday people won't be able to hand pick their child and their qualities. Many people see this as an advantage. For example, before a child is even pictured, you can give him, brown hair, green eyes, 6 feet in height and an intellect to match! Briefly, the benefits are fewer risks to diseases and personalized children.
