Genetic Engineering has throughout modern times been subject to major debates. Whether it is right or wrong to genetically modify human beings or to clone is usually a hot topic and always encounters different perspectives. I am very much in favor of scientific exploration and in technological progress. I once said that scientific exploration is the key to an ultimate comprehension of things-in-themselves. I have always been a big fan of the scientific method and Newtonian thought and I am confident that these help scientists ascend to better understanding and control of nature. I am in favor of genetic engineering because I view this as progress and helps us as human beings develop better understanding of nature and how our genetics work. Genetic engineering can help us improve the human race greatly and our genetic codes. This way, diseases would be every time less common within the human race and everyone would be one step closer of being “perfect”. Cloning humans and to genetically engineer humans is the right choice and shows that humans are capable of developing strong and advanced technologies. Even though many people could argue that a cloned human would be ethically wrong, we should also consider that it would be a great technological achievement and would help us progress scientifically. Imagine living a world where no terminal diseases exist and everyone lives a fulfilling and happy life. I know there would be a problem of overpopulation, but that is something that could also easily be controlled through genetic engineering. We could genetically modify everyone to be capable of having only 2 children. This way, the world’s population would always be stable and the world would be a happy and modern place to live in.
