The gender modifying could alter another aspect of that person, deforming them, or disabling them. The effects could be endless and disastrous. The change the gender of a child is dangerous to not only that child, but to the rest of the world. That is a fact that everyone must stop and consider.

Although genetic testing can benefit society in numerous ways, such as the diagnosis of vulnerabilities to inherited diseases and ancestry verification, it also has the precarious capability to become a tool in selecting a more favorable genetic makeup of an individuals and ultimately cloning humans. Genetic testing will depreciate our quality of life and may result in discrimination, invasion of privacy, and harmful gene therapy.
