undergo an in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedure to create an embryo while selecting the physical, cognitive, and behavioral traits they desire for their child-to-be (“The New Eugenics: The Case Against Genetically Modified Humans”). Although, as stated above, the appropriate accountability and oversight is mandated to those who disregard the regulatory reforms by each country. Gene therapy has also been noted that critics view gene therapy as the ability to “play god” which has the potential of leading to human cloning (“6 Monumental Pros and Cons of Gene Therapy”). On the other hand, health organizations around the world deemed it illegal to practice germline sterilizations in children or possible offspring’s. Heretofore, the FDA’s guidelines

Thus, when the new gene is introduced in the body, it promises immunity from the fought disease. As a result, gene therapy is more effective than pharmaceutical medicine or surgery. Patients that suffer from diseases that cause seizures, low energy, and muscle aches are prescribed drugs from a health professional to alleviate the symptoms. However, the disadvantage of prescription drugs is that they cause side effects, addiction, and short term solutions. Another disadvantage is that a patient eventually becomes immune to the prescribed medicine when taken overtime, which results in the health professional to raise the dosage that may lead to further internal bodily damage. Furthermore, drug companies are not always honest with the FDA when putting drugs on the market as oppose the the extensive research put into gene therapy (“The Pros and Cons of Prescription Drugs: What you need to know”). This can cause individuals to to contract chronic illnesses or sufferer from new medical conditions. Researchers are starting to increase clinical trials for gene therapy to find an ultimate solution rather than develop new drugs (“Gene Therapy: Revolutionizing Medicine”). Therefore, physicians predict that in twenty years, gene therapy my change the practice of medicine to a prevention-base practice (“Gene Therapy: Revolutionizing …show more content…
Swift writes, “a young healthy child well nursed is at a year old a most delicious, nourishing, and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled” (316). However, Swift uses extended verbal irony and fallacies to create a superficial message for the purpose of exposing his real message. The use of the verbal irony was to reveal the human fallacies the British was committing. Throughout the proposal, Swift adopts the personas of an overbearing rich Protestant and the voice of rational social planners that mistreated the Irish-Catholics when stating his superficial message. Although, Swift’s true message is the need for equal treatment of all humans regardless of one’s financial class. The topic of gene therapy would translate to Swift as exploiting marginalized groups for the “greater good”. Therefore, it may be translated to Swift that gene therapy is only for the rich, which leaves those of a financially lower class to suffer from disease that acts as the process of slow cannibalism. Since researcher now have the ability to manipulated a genome, it can be seen as the possibility to permanently discard lazy, “feebleminded”, and inferior physical characteristics. Therefore, Swift would actually be opposed to the practice of gene therapy and the CRISPR system. Although, these concerns can easily be disproved since the
