He used more “friendly” examples to show the benefits of genomic science. His essay appeal to our sense of apathy and sympathy. He mentioned the different examples of risk but immediately counter the risk with his own perspectives. “Granted, the social effects of reproductive genetics are worrisome. The risks of producing a "genobility," genetic overlords ruling a vast genetic underclass, are real. But genetics could also become a tool for reducing the class divide.” “Genomic science is racing toward a future in which foreseeable 16 improvements include reduced susceptibility to a host of diseases, increased life span, better cognitive functioning, and maybe even cosmetic enhancements such as whiter, straighter teeth. Yes, genetic orthodontics may be in our future. The challenge is to see that we don't also unleash the demons of discrimination and oppression. Although I acknowledge the risks, I believe that we can and will incorporate gene technology into the ongoing human adventure.” His tone is more optimistic compare to
