Genetic enhancement refers to the use of genetic engineering to modify a person’s nonpathological traits (the traits that will result in diseases).Gene therapy involves using genetic engineering to alter defective genes or insert corrected genes into the body in order to treat a disease. Genetic enhancement and gene therapy Enhancment included preventive vaccines, strengthening the immune system Therapy is a process aimed at preserving or restoring“normal” functions, which is where the problem lays The way in which to distinguish between theapy and enchancment might rely on the goal of the gentic alteration Parents can order human growth hormone, build their child’s confidence, athletes can order a hormone to regulate red blood cal production in the efforts to improve their perforance. Those wanting to create an enhanced child could chose anyone despite not having desired traits Social Equality: The high cost of genetic enhancement will permit only the wealthiest families in society to gain access to enhancement procedures. The gap between rich and poor will grow tremendously, those who can afford enhancement-gaining power will be in the social hierarchy over those whom can’t afford. The enhanced individuals will already born to be successful, those born in the lower class will have no opportunity to leave their social niche. WWII resulted from the German’s belief in Nordicism, the belief that the Nordic people are superior to all other races. Nazi’s therefore believed that for this reason they were entitled to world domination. I fear that if Genetic enhancement were to be used it will result in bloody altercations such as WWII. Many believe that medical research will alleviant suffering from people who really need help, terrible illnesses. Many wish to follow in the footsteps of Jesus Christ, the short amount of time he spent on earth, he spent healing. But what does that mean when it comes to trying to enhance people that are already healthy. The is an area of considerable debate, Parents will be disappointed; genes aren’t as defining as people believe them to be. The parent who wishes their child to be the A plus student, the courder back of the football team and be first violin in the orchestra will be very disappointed. It’s impossible to trees on tree farms are more easily whipped out more easliy by bugs and diseases oppose to forests who are stronger don't know future al hicked up, During the age of Dr. Moreau people believed that you could atatch the muscles of a cheetah to your calves to make you faster. In the 80's it was believed that genetic engineering was the future, now that we are in the future the reality of such dreams is very unlikly. Many thought curing cancer, HIV and alsheimers was going to accomplishable but as time goes on this is becomign more unlikely. The genom prjoect was a project in which billions were spent mapping the genom, with this information we were suppose to make the dreams of curing and enhancing a reality. The genom project is considered to not be the sucess it was hoped to be, yes we are now able to defereniate the gene that causes parcasines and how it's caused but it has not gotten us any closer to curing it. The future is uncertain, one wants the future to hold infinate amount of options but i fear with the use of genetic engineering the human race will be backed into a corner. Looking at dog breeding, when you don't know the futurekeep the options open want to to make choices that you can't make choices, not backed into a corner colleges dober man pintchers bull dog no neck good fighting dog a machine bot seconnature many perposes, d functioncomputer all pieces have to work perfectlydesign human as if robots mnight damage other vulnerable head and snout nascar, makes a supped up genetic monstor but speeding up the degenrating process steroids too powwerful skeletal not built for that reproductive women becoming men testosterobne tests are unable to test the patient for every disease, the future is uncertain if we go blindly into genetic engineering it could ultimatly cause more damage than good genom project eye glasses make you see better but, worsening the eye sight
