What if incurable illnesses could be prevented before a baby is born? The possibility of cancer? Non-existent. Development of physical disabilities? This is no longer a problem. A parent might be relieved to know that their child would be born healthy and at no risk of long-term illness, physical or mental. This sounds like the new American dream. But what about couples looking to use this technology for aesthetic benefits? Like a couple who wants a baby with blue eyes, but their DNA doesn't allow it. Is there a difference between reducing the risk of disease and hoping to prevent cosmetic diseases? Technology has become intertwined with the daily lives of humans and may soon become what advances our evolutionary path. Thanks to the partnership between the two, the boundaries currently remain unclear and debated. Is it inevitable that technology will help transform and improve humans, or is it contrary to the laws of nature and science? If we ultimately allow our children's genes to be altered by technology, where should the line be? To analyze this hot topic, we examine the following texts: Prolonging Life, Human Genome Research, Gene Therapy's Future, The Quiet Campaign for Genetic Engineering, No to Genetic Engineering of Humans!, Reproductive Cloning, Genetic Engineering and Human Autonomy child: the moral agent and the open future, human designers and, finally, the ethics of reproduction. The moral agenda of genetic engineering is what opponents see as the downfall of mixing technology and genetics. Author David King, in his article “No to Genetic Engineering of Humans!” uses pathos to appeal to the emotions of fear, ethics, and unease by claiming that playing with natural evolution by "playing God" is dangerous and it's just... middle of paper .... ..g their duty to their patients, and it makes perfect sense to use this technology to help them however they see fit. In addition to upholding their Hippocratic Oath, the opportunities to help future generations through these advancements are greater than ever. If devastating diseases like cancer, cystic fibrosis and many others caused by genetic abnormalities could be cured and no longer affect our grandchildren, and their grandchildren, why wouldn't we want to embrace this technology? open? Finally, there is the fight for the knowledge our bodies contain. Scientists, the logical thinkers of the world, believe that we have the right to know what our own body is made of, all the parts and aspects. With the decoding of the human genome, we are on the verge of becoming experts on the human species. Pathos is an important factor for supporters of genetic manipulation..
