What Is Genetic Engineering Ethical?

Advancements in technology have allowed scientists to unveil the seemingly impossible secrets of genetics. Learning of human genetics and how one can potentially splice genes, and rearrange them into a particular order, to alter and change the genes of a human. Knowledge of genetic altering can increase the probability of creating a "genetically perfect" human. Furthering evolution of humans, increasing the potential for longer life spans and immunity to harmful diseases, thus allowing the human race to strive without setbacks. The concept of a world with no possibility for a person to die because of genetically caused issues, appears to be an ideal world, but will the everlasting human race destroy the ecosystem? The only way to find the answers to these mysteries is to continue genetic research and apply knowledge by testing the human manipulation DNA. Although testing and administering knowledge of genetically engineering people is the only way to discover whether the damage to the environment will be calamitous or minimal, is risking our planet 's function worth it? Practices where viruses are altered and injected into the body, using animal DNA to genetically enhance humans, and traits of infants are handpicked to create the …show more content…
By manipulating the natural gene pool, the potential for further destroying the Earth increases. Humans will move up the food chain and invade ecosystems, causing the elimination of life forms. The longevity of humans and animals will change, making it considerably unknown how the environment will respond. Due to advancing deterioration of the Earth, practices using genetically manipulated viruses that are injected into the body in an attempt to eliminate tumors, using animal DNA to enhance the genetics of humans, and handpicking the traits of children, to create a society of “genetically perfect” people, should be
