Genetic Engineering can only be beneficial to humankind. Do you agree? I totally disagree with Genetic Engineering. Genetic Engineering can be broken up into plenty of areas, but the main area that most people would be familiar with is the cloning of humans.
Human Cloning brings up my first point on why I am strongly against Genetic Engineering. Using our knowledge to clone humans is not only dangerous but against a lot of religious beliefs. The big factor is that every single one of us is an individual creation of Gods hand. Allowing cloning would not only destroy the Earths diversity but would allow complete look alikes of other living humans. .
It is believed that not only can we clone humans, but to a person's specific want. So it's like a made to order type of business. Which means the bearer of the clone will get to choose what it looks like, which if the bearer has enough money can make look alike humans of there favourite hero or sports person.
Who's to say that if a War were to break out, countries wouldn't clone thousands of men to be soldiers?.
Cloning humans just to die, make them into elite fighter pilots and soldiers all for what?.
Any person with values has to know that cloning humans is morally wrong. You don't know what person with a bit of money could do or pull off having the service of cloned humans at hand.
Some people argue that the cloning of humans can be beneficial believing that it will elevate all birth retardation and disabilities that children are sometimes born with. This is a fair enough statement and belief but who's to say that this will definitely happen. Who's to say that what I've just stated will happen aswell, we don't know.
But is that the risk we want to take, allowing Genetic Engineering to take place, not knowing what side affects will come with it.
To many times in man's history have we made great technological discoveries and used them to our advantage.
