We don’t stop to think of the good it can bring us. So in response Arthur Caplan in his article‚ “Engineering the Better Baby‚” he talks about why the good outweighs the bad and how there are too many benefits to be worrying about possible dangers that

This is a very controversial subject because there are two sides that people are on and debating about. The first side supports this system because it says that you can genetically change a person’s genes so that if they have a disease or mutation‚ they can be cured. However‚ many people are supporting the second side as well. This side or the second side
