Our world is rapidly changing all around us, discoveries are being made and radical ideas are formed. Genetic engineering is one of those radical discoveries. It involves changing the inherited characteristics of an organism by altering the genetic material. By engineering a DNA fragment, scientists have already cloned several different types of organisms. They range from fruit flies, to sheep, and even house cats. But will they ever try to clone a human, or even go as far as altering genes to create a perfect race of super-humans? This brings us to a question that has been on the back of millions of minds ever since this technology was discovered. Is it ethical to develop a flawless human race through genetic engineering? The only answer is “no” due to the fact that it has been seen in our history, our present and even in literature. These all show that genetic engineering, being dangerous and costly, has negative effects on our society and should be controlled.
Even though genetic engineering only invol

Below are additional random excerpts from the paper...
Genetic Engineering is not only dangerous and costly, but also has negative effects on our society. This sort of power must be contained and controlled in a responsible way. Society has seen the devastating effects that genetic perfection can cause, and we must take heed of these warnings. It has been proven in our past, present, and will continue to be proven in the future that genetic tampering is a dangerous science. If the majority gives the “go ahead” for genetic engineering, we will not only damage society in the present, but also the societies that will come forth in the future of this earth. Yes, there may be some benefit in the short run, but looking at a long term view, it will only create another thorn in the side of our society.
Another point that should be brought up is that cloning a mammal is an extremely difficult process. When Ian Wilmut and his team cloned Dolly, it took 267 attempts for just one success! Obviously genetic engineering and cloning are two completely different subjects, but genetic eng
