It’s a brilliant idea, however there are many risks, regulations and ethical issues involved. It’s up to you whether…

setting, all those who had people sick with various diseases brought them to him. By laying his hands on each one of them, he cured them” (Luke 4:20). Could genetic engineering be the cure they are looking for today? Genetic engineering is “the deliberate modification of the characteristics of an organism by manipulating its genetic material.” (Google) The most common genetic disorders are Down Syndrome, Huntington’s Disease, Sickle Cell Disease, and Hemophilia. Modifying genes can help…
