Genetic Engineering Should Be Prohibited
Genetic engineering should not be done on humans. It is immoral and harmful in our society. This form of technology allows genetic engineers and research doctors to modify a human being's physical and mental capabilities. Genetic engineers could alter an individual's characteristic and other human features. Genetic engineering has given these scientists the power to alter the very basis of life on earth. Genetic engineering on humans is immoral and very heinous. It breaks the barrier of ethics between natural existence and theological principles. In Robin Cook's medical thriller Mutation, a bright doctor named Dr. Victor Frank attempted to create the son of his dreams and turned out possessing a living nightmare. Dr. Frank's wife couldn't bear a child so he decided to perform a fertilization of he and his wife's sex cells to be implanted and grown into a substitute mother. Dr. Frank wanted more besides having a child. He wanted to have a supernatural intelligent child who will continue his research on biotechnology. Before the fertilized egg(zygote) was implanted into the surrogate mother, he manipulated one of the zygote's genes by injecting a special kind of protein which would stimulate the nerves in the brain
of the child and make the brain cells grow. This would make the child extraordinarily bright(Cook, Mutation, 77). A Washington Post article by E.J. Dione Jr. entitled Hold Off on Cloning suggests that cloning of human beings should be held off before it could be started. The first history of cloning is through a sheep named Dolly in Scotland. It was not an easy success. All of the earlier cloning efforts to produce the same exact sheep as Dolly failed, meaning that some sheep An article by Dr. Patrick Dixon of the Press Association reports that in the next 5 to 10 years, headless human bodies will be grown in order to provide organs and tissues for transplant surgeries. The creation of headless human beings to be used to provide human organs is so alarming to the human race. How can we grasp seeing a headless individual being alive? Is our aging process shows one's discontentment in the value of life. We should be very thankful and blessed to this God-given gift instead of despising it on its flaws. Life is not endless thing and we should enjoy every moment of it. creatures. They will only stop this immoral and shameful actions if they were the ones being put on the shoes of those poor living individuals innocently being victimized by genetic technology. replicas were genetically defective and had to be "thrown out"(Dione Jr.). Obviously, the cloning of the first human being would not be an easy accomplishment and could be much more difficult than Dolly's. The earlier failures are going to be human models that are genetically defective. These miserable, innocent, individuals could have four arms, just one eye, have Genetic engineering is harmful and disadvantageous not only to the human outgrowths of this technological procedure but also to the people who would live with them. Dr. Frank's experiment with his son, VJ, was a success. As a result, VJ's intelligence was very extraordinary
