condition or disease to humans. As defective genes are replaced with functional genes, then it is expected that there will be a reduction in genetic diversity and if human beings have identical genomes, the population as a whole will be susceptible to viruses and many forms of disease.” (Prata) Added to this important concern is a realization of humans’ capacity to simply change their minds. In his article, “The Case Against Human Gene Editing,” in 2015 Brendan Foht pointed out the future possibility that “there might be some wisdom in the view that it is morally wrong to genetically design our children, or that some future ‘consensus’ that we come to hold as our ‘societal views evolve’ might be foolish and misguided” (Foht).
