Moreover‚ traits that are desirable can be selected‚ and preventing the genetic causes of diseases is possible. Human genetic engineering‚ as a new field‚ has raised a lot of questions and ethical issues. I argue about where we should put the limits for our genetic editing. Should we just use it to prevent harmful diseases or can we carry on with the modification

Transcendentalist beliefs of adding onto the previous generations’ efforts would not work
