Genetic Modification

[Haydn2]

You're not looking at the other side of the coin.

Is it right to mess with the genetics of an individual, and tamper with them to create a new human being, one that is fundamentally different to the one which it would have been prior to the tampering?

A lot of people think not.

No i do see 'that side of the coin' , or opinion you really mean. I just havn't heard a moral reason to back it up yet.

You are asking is it right to tamper - i say yes if it benefits the idividual in any way ( be that curing a genetic problem , or increasing an attribute , like intelligence).

Now i ask you - is it wrong to 'modify' the genetics of an indivdual and tamper with them to create a new human being, one that is fundamentally different to the one which it would have been prior to the tampering?

And im sure alot of people think not , i want to hear..... why?

Eugenics anyone? Another ploy for the rich and powerful to determine the destiny of the masses.

I do find it fascinating however.

Could you elaborate?
