  1. Those a thought provoking ethical questions you have there. I remember back in our high school years, we haven’t gotten that far in terms of science discoveries and treatment. 30 something years forward, we are in the age where we can human’s can manipulate the genes. It does post some concerns on our ability to play gods with such technique. However, this is also a breakthrough for mankind. When used properly, we should benefit from it. Do you feel that the pros outweighs the cons? Or do you think there are things we are not meant to play with? That would be awesome if you could put a side by side comparison. Maybe do some in depth research how far we’ve gone over the centuries improving human lives because of it.
