This is considered a miracle for geneticists trying to eradicate genetic mutations, such as sickle cell anemia. However, because scientists do not know the exact location and function of all DNA sequences, by removing or altering a mutation, scientists could actually be doing more harm than good. A sequence that scientists…

of us. In the first act of his the film Niccol presents us with a world that has mastered genetic engineering.

Genetic testing and editing isn't a new-found technology, it has been used on plants and animals for decades. Consequences of these are beginning to arise, particularly in genome editing within species. Pure bred dogs are the closest comparison we have to what we would be doing if liberal eugenics was legalised. Darwinism is at the heart of this argument, that natural selection will be central for the improvement of mankind. Cross-breeding has been evident to inherently increasing survival…
