Health for Genetic Engineering

I’m already dead but from high above I came to know about the recently topic known as Genetic Engineering. I believe it is the manipulation of the organism’s genes; which makes it able to clone human beings. Genetic engineering is recent and very modern now and can be very useful and very dangerous which brings disadvantages. In my opinion I would not support the use of genetic manipulation in a society only if these tests would bring positive consequences for the place. Such as prevent epidemic diseases that bring dismay, horror and panic to a society. Scientists and researchers are often in the quest of searching antibiotics to fight diseases, this would no longer be necessary with the help of genetic engineering. The irresponsibility and desire of human for power can take genetic engineering in a bad use, not for the good of society but for the good of oneself. Society won’t be equal; they might use it only for the upper class society instead of the lower class society; that’s why I insist upon state control over a practice like human genetic engineering. I am against this time of thinking God made us by his image and it would be unrespectful in every religion to change or challenge his methods. Genetic engineering shouldn’t be used as a weapon for change in one’s image but to use it for the well being of society and of the world. I conclude that yeah we should continue with the way we use Genetic engineer not by cloning humans but by helping society overcome diseases and other uncontrollable diseases that daily occur within our society.

  1. I agree with Plato on the fact that people do use Genetic Engineering for the wrong reasons to benefit themselves and that is not right because Genetic Engineering could be use to help a society!

  2. I agree with Plato's idea about genetic engineering; it should only be used to overcome diseases and not to clone humans. I think it is not secure and it will not bring positive effects. It will also direspect many religions worldwide.
