Everything Wrong With Perfection
The case of human perfection. With technology advancements in this day and age, being able to alter the genes of humans to create perfect people is not so far away. In fact, scientists have already begun to work on this experiment and it is said to be coming about smoothly, according to the internet, and in the near future, we will be able to pay for the genetically perfect race. Although this seems to be a good idea, not having to worry about failure, health issues, and other things that bring paranormal states to the average human, there are some arguments against such a perfect world. Most people will stand by the experiment for human perfection because it brings better change to mankind. What this means …show more content…
One article that not only supports my claims but helped readers draw more in depth conclusions was a piece in the NYLN website and titled, “8 Most Notable Pros and Cons of Designer Babies”.

It is like the child is a toy and the parents gets to build the perfect little item to play with for the right cost.

I picture a world of robotic human beings. Human being that have been so altered by technology that it creates a gap between the new normal and the older unfit. This world is a world where it is not about trying that leads to learning and eventually you begin to get better at life, no, this world is about being born perfect and being held higher up by society. Otherwise you are defective. Nothing you find worthy of working towards and being proud of is accepted, everything is handed to you effortlessly. In a robotic society, if you
