: Genetic Engineering is going to destroy our world. The entire human race will be robbed of its uniqueness. Genetically altering children in the womb is wrong. A lot of people have this ideal of the most beautiful person in the world: A tall tan blonde with blue eyes and perfectly sculpted features and no fat. If this were a human ideal, then it would be totally out. I myself am a short brunette with brown eyes and an asymetrical face and relatively lean. If everyone fit the ideal, then it would no longer be unique. Uniqueness is the concept of beauty. Also, we need diseases like cancer and AIDS to control population. If we take those genes out of humans, then the world would be overflowing with people and we'd all starve. Yes, it is painful to see someone we know suffer horribly from a disease, but we need things like that to ensure that others will live. In short, there is limited space and rations in the world, and it should be used by people who are not all the same.
i disagree, i think cloning would be okay for testing
