HUMAN GENETIC ENGINEERING
This video is about human genetic engineering and it states that genetic engineering may be beneficial for curing lifelong and deadly diseases, give a chance to parents to choose their babies' gender and people may live longer thanks to it. On the other hand, it may cause discrimination in a society, super diseases and new species of human. That is, its consequences may not be predicted, so what is ethically right and where we will draw the line should be thought before genes are modified.
I agree with the speaker in this video because genetic manipulation may be beneficial for curing some diseases, but it may cause socio-economic differences in the society. In addition, there are some unanswered questions about this manipulation. For example, ‘Which traits are good or bad? ‘Should people live longer?’ Firstly, the possibility of being able to cure deadly and lifelong diseases through genetic manipulation can be a hope for people especially parents having a child with the diseases. However, it may cause more dangerous diseases because of unpredictable consequences of genetic experimentation. Secondly, genetic manipulation may be expensive, so only rich people can reach it and just they can choose their children’s traits like intelligent, skilled in any areas. As a result of this, there may be discrimination between genetically modified people and the others in the society.
In conclusion, on one hand, genetic experimentation may provide better lives for people; on the other hand, it may have negative and unpredictable consequences. Therefore, especially its possible consequences must be thought seriously before genetic experimentation is applied.
