Genetic Modification Bad

Scientists are capable of understanding the genetic bases of human diseases and non-diseases. They want to marketing embryo selection of genetics to expecting mother’s to prevent future diseases. By manipulating the DNA of an embryo, parents will be able to enhance athletic, cosmetic and cognitive traits; forming an enhanced human species. Altering human genetics commodifies human life and threatens to divide society. Genetic modification of human beings is unacceptable because this would cause unwanted societal pressures, the risk outweighs the benefits and God created us to unique. Creating enhanced humans will disrupt our human community as we know it. If parents start genetically modifying their children, eventually people will become so enhanced that the rest of society will be let behind economically. So many people would try to keep pace with the growing trend of modifying their children's abilities giving in to the genome marketing. This places significant pressure on parents income to buy into enhancing their children to keep up with the demands of a growing economy. What happens to the low-income citizens who are not financially able to keep up, how would they be able to compete with a person engineered to be smarter? They will become ridiculed and uneffective in a society
that demands enhanced humans for many jobs. Ultimately, creating further division of our society by race, income as well as enhance humans. There are benefits involved in genetic modification of humans such as being able to cure diseases before birth.
Children without comprehension issues like dyslexia or not having to battle cancer are great benefits. Being able to cosmetically modify a child bears no serious benefits and changes the genetic basis of our common human nature. Even Richard Haynes in “Genetically modified ? No thanks” would agree that genetic technology runs a great deal of risk to our human community. Although there are benefits it imposes risk to the developing children causing confusion, inequality in human abilities and unwise use of the science could potentially cause destruction going
forward.
