    In this enthralling, enlightening book, Ronald M. Green’s Babes by Design: The Ethics of Genetic Design explores the potential promise and threat in the innovation of genetic engineering. Babies by Design offers several elements of the complicated subject: it presents an eloquent description of the sophisticated technology and science, it clearly recaps the reasonable arguments for and against numerous exercises of biotechnology, and it relates the ideas of science fiction to that of the uncertain future. Green graduated Summa Cum Laude at Brown University, before receiving his Ph.D. in religious ethics from Harvard University in 1973. Green has written nine books and more than 170 articles on theoretical and applied ethics. This gives him…

    If it's acceptable to modify one gene, why not two, or 20 or 200? At what point do children become artifacts designed to someone's specifications rather than members of a family to be nurtured? Given what we know about human nature, the development and commercial marketing of human genetic modification would likely spark a techno-eugenic rat-race. Even parents opposed to manipulating their children's genes would feel compelled to participate in this race, lest their offspring be left behind.”…

    The article written by Amy Harmon, New York Times journalist, discusses the possibility of altering gene in human embryos. This controversial topic brings about many different emotions for the vast majority of people. Appealing to this emotion, Harmon presents facts that explains how the alteration of genes in human embryos can have many positives effects of the future child. For example, the blocking of a future possible genetic disease such as Huntington's, or Tay-Sachs disease can help improve a child’s life. However, there are also many arguments against this new process.…

    One controversial topic that provokes debate is genetic modification. In the essay “Proposed Treatment to Fix Genetic Diseases Raises Ethical issues” the author Rob Stein explains the process of genetic engineering and suggests a solution. The government is debating if the should let scientists “make changes in some of the genetic material” in the egg so the baby will not have certain genes. The main goal is to “help women deliver healthy, normal children.” There are some risks with this process such as birth defects.…

    Michael Sandel in “The case Against Perfection” talks about benefits and drawbacks in genetic engineering, designer children, and bionic athletes. The benefit is that improving technological advancement, we will be able to treat and prevent many diseases that are prevalent today. The downside is that exponential growth of technologies will allow us to manipulate our own nature, to enhance our cognitive abilities, physical strength, and choose genetic traits of our children to make ourselves “better than well” (Sandel, 2004). Sandel argues that Genetic engineering offers us the power to master our nature, but that kind of power & choice threatens our ability to appreciate life as a gift, and erode human agency by allowing us to serve our purposes…

    Genetic and genome field development has been vastly expanded over the past decade and with its positive impact on areas of science, medicine, society there is also negative impact such as the ethical issues that can follow. The developments of new genetic technologies will raise some of these ethical issues that will affect the person as well as the society as the whole. In 2010 ethical issues was emerge as big controversial problem within the scientific community by Rebecca Skloot, the publisher of The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lack, a book on the He-La cells and why it was morally unethical. He-La, a cervix cells from a woman named Henrietta Lack’s, a code named that world known to the first immortal human cells. The cells are known…

    The Case Against Perfection In order to cater an ever changing society, and as science continues to progress, many claim genetically modifying humanity is a no brainer. Though, Michael Sandel would heavily disagree, claiming, “Changing our nature to fit the world, rather than the other way around, is actually the deepest form of disempowerment. It distracts us from reflecting critically on the world, and deadens the impulse to social and political improvement,” (97). Instead of changing humanity, he proposes alterations to society, in order to custom nature.…

    In the article “Ethics and the New Genetics” written by The Dalai Lama, the author explains a religious symbol that is trying to send a message to the science community. A genetic technology that one day will change the definition of what it is to be human. Similarly, in “Human Dignity” written by Francis Fukuyama the author examines Factor X, the same number of factors that makes a human being human. Individuals should be political, the ethical esteem is embodied, the decisions made, and the feelings encountered are of the whole factors that make Factor X. For Human Dignity, a gap was created due to the higher class having more privileges than others classes. In the following paper, the discussion of the complications between science and religion and what roles would play in the genetic engineering today.…

    The question of “designer babies” is one that is fairly recent and controversy of the topic starts from the very definition of the term. When one is presented with the term “designer babies”, Most people imagine a genetically engineered being who is less human and more technology. This false stigma mainly comes from the negative reputation of Genetically modified species such as food or animals. However, the reality is quite different, it can be argued that even choosing a fertilised cell as an embryo during IVF is a form of a designer baby. After conducting a questionnaire; 86.76% of people believed a “designer baby” was a being which was genetically engineered to have selective traits.…

    Human evolution took millions of years to develop our current species and to develop the technological sophistication we now have today. The possibilities of human advancement seem limitless and the only opposition we have is ourselves. Why should humanity limit itself over genetically modified organisms? Why do people think humans have gone to far on genetic engineering? Genetic modification is the process of altering the DNA in an organism’s genome.…

    Human culture has a constant drive for perfection in all aspects of life. People are determined to achieve the best jobs, the best homes and the best form of “living”. Even if all those things are well achieved, humans are driven to strive for more. There seems to be no point where this controlling behavior will get to a stopping point. Recently, technological advancements in medical sciences have allowed potential parents to genetically “play” with preferred traits in an unborn baby.…
