Ruthie’s story in the article‚ Tomorrow’s Children‚ shifted my view on gene editing technology to a position in which I have become more accepting of disabilities because of the benefits they contribute to society. If Ruthie’s parents would have had the option to edit her condition of blindness before birth‚ it could have potentially‚ “erased some of the things that make Ruthie special” (Hayden pg. 403).
