Summary:
Gene therapy is the name given for when normal or genetically altered genes replace a person’s malfunctioning genes. Although it is still in the years of its infancy, people are beginning to question whether gene therapy is moral/ethical. There are many who are worried about parents genetically altering a babies genes’ even before the baby is born. This forces the rest of society to question if genetically changing the structure of humans is, to simplify it, good or bad for the good of mankind.
Questions posed:
If we alter and change the genes in our children to fit our desires, are we still going to love our children for who they are or for what they are doing? Say that these new alterations of the genes have become reality-will they ultimately destroy our morals and values?
Answer to Neo's question:
In today's world, people want to live longer, healthier, and disease-free lives. Due to this fact, doctors are always trying to find new cures and delays for diseases. They want to see the people happy and enjoying their life. To get to this goal they will go to extreme lengths to try to find a cure for humans, even if it means paying for already sick human beings to try new drugs. Doctors pay people to try these new drugs and vaccines because they will get to see the effects of this drug on humans, not animals.
