Pro Genetic Engineering

Science has had a huge impact on society in the past few centuries with medicines curing disastrous diseases and the growing

You are probably familiar with GMO’s (genetically modified organism) and scientifically modified food that has had its DNA changes. There has been debate on GMO’s has been going on for a few decades, whether GMO are safe and even ethical. However, there is another debate that far surpasses GMOs and has a potential to radically shake society: the issue of genetically modifying humans. Changing our DNA could limit health issue or create a new Frankenstein’s monster among humans. Frankenstein had the wrong intent when he set out to create his monster. He only cared about himself and advancing his future. If Genetic engineering is sought after to just create something new there will be another monster. However, genetic can be safe and ethical if its intent and use is for medical purposes. We need to help the sick in society and one way to do that is with genetic engineering. With this purpose genetic engineering is not overstepping our authority like Frankenstein did.

Imagine a newborn baby hasn´t seen the world and never will, because this baby is blind. This child’s parents worry about his/her safety. Throughout their lifetime, this child will have many obstacles. The baby could have been saved if only the family had the resources to genetically modify their baby. Retinal Information Network reports at least 242 cases of hereditary blindness. That baby is one of the 242 cases that could’ve been cured through a new technological process that changes cells in one’s body for better cells. This is genetic modification (also known as genetic engineering). Healthy lab produced cells will replace gene cells that are negative in a personś body. Many diseases can be cured with access to genetic modification. The unhealthy disease cells can be replaced or missing cells can be added to a body. By performing genetic modifications, life spans can be lengthened. Animals and humans could live longer by replacing old cells with new ones. Also, with the assistance of genetic engineering, “super humans” can be created. Heroes with “powers” on t.v. can become a reality.

Technology, it 's a word that defines the means and ways of everyday life today. In the 21st century, technology is a crucial thing. From plasma televisions, to ipods and iphones, technology conquers all. Apart from everyday uses of technology, science and research technology is making a huge impact in medical and research science. Teens and young adults today are unaware of these growing trend of using technology in medical science. Currently, the use of technology in gene manipulation and engineering is creating a hype. Genetic engineering is the process of taking any specific gene from a living thing and genetically manipulating it to be added into the genetic code of another living thing. This means, since plants and humans, and

Cloning has always been a symbol of advancement and intelligence in our society. Its uncertainty may cause people’ hostility towards this unknown technology. I think the exploration of cloning should be supported and we should pursue further improvement. The knowledge should be widely applied to medical, agricultural and reproduction uses, but should be withheld to the stage of physical characteristics or phenotypes modification. I think genetic engineering is a very promising scientific field which can benefit the human society profoundly especially for the medical uses. The research of genetic engineering can also largely contribute to solving scarcity and increase reproduction of limited resources to higher economy of scale. Nevertheless genetic engineering is still a very controversial problem and many opposed opinions may be raised. I will try to prove otherwise that people can obtain more advantages from mastering this technology.

Genetic modification, especially the production of “designer babies,” has been acclaimed as the next great medical beneficiary to humanity, and also regarded with disdain and fear as a product of man playing god, neo-eugenics, and perpetuating inequality. The benefits to society, such as alleviating medical anomalies and bettering both length and quality of life, outweigh the moral panic and outcry that is a response to scenarios that are unlikely to ever even develop. Society should embrace genetic engineering and modification to improve humanity as a whole.

Our society has made excellent breakthroughs in the field of science and technology. From launching a rocket to the moon to creating the microscope. These breakthroughs began during the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution emerged towards the end of the Renaissance period and continued through the late 18th century. It marked the emergence of modern science. There were amazing scholars coming up with new philosophies during that century leading to new ideas and inventions. Many of the inventions would have not been possible if these new theories and philosophies weren’t thought of. These theories and inventions helped further our knowledge of math, physics, astronomy, biology, anatomy and chemistry.

Science has changed society in many ways one major way is medicine. Before modern medicine it was easier for people to get sick and harder for people to recover from an illness. More than likely if you were cut or burned your wound would become infected and almost half of the time you could be killed from it. In 1928 Alexander Fleming found that mold and other bacteria could

Taking large steps or even leaps may advance our society faster but with more dangerous risks. Genetic modification has advanced our technology, letting scientist have the ability to remove or replace genes and effectively get rid of diseases in human embryos. They do have the money and resources to start genetically modify human embryos but do not because the safety level of it is unknown. The fee of this would make matters worse as everything has a price to it and only some could afford it. This type of modification is not only solely for ridding diseases but also can be used to insert wanted traits (such as strong or smart genes) into children before they are born. But genetic modification will eventually lead to power-hungry rich people

Currently, science is being used for great accomplishments that have benefited society completely. The world has thrived with Scientific advancements in technology, medicine, and transportation. However, science has had its downfalls because of human actions when science is used immorally, without any consideration for the aftermath. The world has become technologically developed because of science, but also unsafe. The increasing innovations and expansion of science

The human body is imperfect. Many are created with inherited fault and others die prematurely of diseases and many genetic defects. Genetic Engineering is the process to alter the structure and nature of genes in human beings(Rinkesh). I think that editing genes should be legal and used for good. Genetic Engineering has the potential to alter how humans are made and could be the greatest breakthrough of the century.

Genetic engineering has to do with manipulating organisms and DNA to create body characteristics. The practice of genetic DNA has shown an increasing amount over the past years. The process of genetic enhancement involves manipulating organisms by using biotechnologies. The technique is by removing a DNA from one life form and transferring it to another set of traits or organism. Certain barriers are conquered, and the procedure involves changing a form of cells, resulting from an improvement or developed organism. GMO which is a (Genetic Modified Organisms) is the operation done in a laboratory where DNA genetic from one particular species or animals is directly forced into another gene from an unrelated subject of plants or even animals.

Throughout human history, we have selectively bred plants and animals to produce favorable outcomes. For example, grey wolfs have been selectively bred for thousands of years to create most of the household dogs we have today. With genetic engineering, we are able to achieve the same result by editing a strand of DNA rather than thousands of years of selective breeding. Genetic engineering provides many benefits and offers a solution to many of the world’s major problems. However, some people view genetic engineering as, “playing god”, and believe that Genetically Modified Organisms can pose health risks despite any evidence. Genetic engineering should be pursued because it produces better medicine, creates modified plants that grow more nutritious and numerous crops, and allows children to receive genes that reduces risks of them having mental illness or other problems through genetic determinism.

New technological advances and scientific methods continue to change the course of nature. One of the current controversial advances in science and technology is the use of genetically modified embryos in which the study exceeds stem cell research. Scientists have begun planning for research involving human embryos in the genetic modification field. Many technological developments are responsible for improving our living standards and even saving lives, but often such accomplishments have troubling cultural and moral ramifications (Reagan, 2015). We are already beyond the days in which virtually the only procreative option was for a man and a woman to conceive the old-fashioned way (Reagan, 2015). Genetic modification of human embryos can be perceived as a positive evolution in the medical process yet it is surrounded by controversy due to ethical processes. Because this form of genetic modification could affect later born children and their offspring, the protection of human subjects should be a priority in decisions about whether to proceed with such research (Dresser, 2004). The term Human Genetic Engineering was originally made public in 1970. During this time there were several methods biologists began to devise in order to better identify or isolate clone genes for manipulation in several species or mutating them in humans.

Humans are evidently unique and not perfect. Imagine if you had the ability to create an ideal human. That being said, a portion of the population feels that they should have the authority and privilege to genetically engineer their offspring. If you had the privilege, would you want to create your dream child? Genetic engineering is the alteration of the genetic makeup of an organism. This can be done through either removing or adding DNA. In other words, altering the genetic makeup of an individual in order to create the “perfect” human. Through the direct manipulation of a human’s genome in biotechnology, people can produce improved organisms. However, this idea brings up a debate that considers this process ethically, socially, and scientifically.
