Humans have strived to improve every facet of their lives, from technology to their diet. Nowadays, humans are now able to manipulate the genes of their children, which means that humanity is taking a big step forward in family modification. Yet even with our advancements in the medical field, we still come across cancer, Alzheimer's disease, or any other disease on the long list of genetic diseases. With such an opportunity to better improve our children, what mother or father would not want to “give their child the best chance of living a happy and successful life?” » (Fox, D. American Journal of Law and Medicine, 567) The first thing we can do with genetic modification is to remove genes that, when expressed, increase the risk of cancer or another type of genetic disease. With the isolation of cancer-causing genes, affected families will no longer have to worry that their son or daughter will have to battle leukemia at different stages of their lives. In fact, such engineering should deserve the praise of scientists and citizens, not condemnation as merely a tool that enhances intelligence or strength. Such genetic modification does not stop at life-threatening cancers. Inherited disorders such as asthma and anemia could be stopped in the first trimester of a child's development, reducing or even eliminating the likelihood that they will ever have this health problem. Even genes that express physical characteristics can be manipulated. With so many ways to modify and choose which genes are expressed, parents can decide how their child develops, allowing "perfection" to be considered through improvement, and that perfection can actually be beneficial (Keen ..... middle of paper ......those concerned To further support the balance of the world's population, it is up to individual families rather than state officials to decide how. whose child must be genetically modified (Fox, D. American Journal of Law and Medicine, 570). With the choice given to each family, whether they have five, seven or even two children, they have, as mother and father, the right to a natural pregnancy without genetic manipulation. undesirable traits, inclusion of desired traits, and overall longer lifespan are all reasons why such a program should be implemented in our society. Such improvement for our next generation is another step in supporting our evolution with each new medical discovery. One day it will eventually get to the point where a parent will be considered good at providing “adequate genetic input” (Hammond, J. Bioethics, 161).
