genetic technology creates ethical dilemmas.

Do the vastly different views people have on it.

Some see it as a valuable advancement of humankind where others may

be afraid of what the future looks like with these advancements.

One such ethical dilemma has come up with a tool that can easily

be used to edit genes inside of an embryo and make the changes

and change the DNA makeup.

This tool is known as CRISPR cas nine

and can help to prevent some of the worst diseases and disabilities

in the world that are still without a cure like cancer.

Alzheimer's HIV and many more.

This editing takes place when the fertilized videos for embryo is very,

very young so they can be treated right away So the baby will

never have to worry about it or feel the effects of the disease.

Although CRISPR can be used to do all these amazing things to help prevent diseases.

It can also be very dangerous for the mother

and can be seen as an unethical way of life.

Many people see it as discriminating and trying

to get rid of people with certain disabilities

because they are different and not the ideal hearing.

Even if you were born without the ideal jeans,

it does not mean that you won't live a good life

and same goes

with good genes,

genome editing is one of the strongest scientific technologies that can

change the way medical treatments move forward and how people live.

However,

it can also be used in other ways that can

harm the human population by editing away people that are seen

as unwanted,

which would greatly reduce the diversity among the human population

and take away from the other perspectives of life.

I think that as long as we put strict restrictions on the

usage of genome editing the human population should continue to thrive.

And it's the diversity even though there's still a lot of research

to be done with a long term side effects may be.

Now everyone may have their views on if this

magnetic testing and modification is ethical or not.

But in 2018

doctor he claimed to have made the first ever genetically modified babies

Lulu and Nana

illegally in China.

Now doctor he probably viewed that what he was doing was

for the better and in the best interests of everyone.

While others saw it as extremely unethical and disrespecting life itself.

Doctor he was given three years in prison

and a hefty fine of $430,000 for genetically

modifying the twins so that they would not

have HIV passed down to them via their parents

thankfully for doctor he the twin babies, lulu and nana

claimed to be both born healthy.

Whereas if they had died due to the operation doctor,

he could have been facing up to 10 years in prison.

Even though dr he used the genetic technology to try and prevent

a potentially deadly disease and did not use it for cosmetic reasons.

Some people still think that he violated

medical ethics and deserved a longer sentence.

Although I do not agree with the way that

doctor he went about his research and experiment.

I believe that if it wasn't for him to do

the experiment, another person was bound to.

I also feel that Doctor he's punishments were more than fair,

seeing as he went behind the country's back to perform

illegal medical procedures,

even though his intentions were in the right place

of helping others have a healthy happy baby.

So did dr he and his

illegal experiment helps to point us in the right direction that

we need to go for the future of genetic technology.

I think that dr he most definitely helped push this

kind of genetic technology along in the right direction.

But who knows what the future has in store for us.
