The strive for perfection is never ending in the world. Genetic engineering also called genetic modification is a possible answer for many of our imperfection. Genetic engineering is being used to advance agriculture and the cross breeding of crops. This is used in perfecting the human species by preventing disease and disorders that are passed on from generation to generation. This causes ethical issues between science and religion which are two important aspects of people's lives. These are just some of the uses of genetic engineering in our everyday lives.

Reasons against sex selection are because of people don’t think that it is morally right to mess with the natural process.”Those against it have argued that sex selection is akin to ‘‘playing God’’, by interfering with the natural process of reproduction”(Habermas).

There are groups out in the world that think that there is a good purpose for sex selection. “ In response to these charges, advocates of sex selection have argued that sex selection can be used for good reasons such as family balancing and avoiding transmission of genetic disorders; that it need not treat children as mere means as long as one loves them; that it need not harm women, as an unbalanced sex ratio can increase the influence of the rarer sex and reduce population growth and that allowing sex selection is protecting procreative autonomy—something we value in a liberal society” (Liao).
