Medical technologies are risky and many are performed too often. People tend to focus on the achievements of modern medicine rather than the uncertainty of many medical procedures. (Mike 1987)

Princeton University microbiologist Lee M. Silver says that he can see a day a few centuries from now when there are two species of humans – the standard “naturals,” (Deneen 2001) and the “gene-enriched” (Deneen 2001) an elite class whose parents bought for them designer genes, and whose parents before them did the same, and so on for generations.

It will all start innocently enough – birth defects that are caused by a single gene, such as cystic fibrosis and Tay-Sachs disease, will be targeted first, and probably without any controversy. Then, as societal fears about messing with mother nature subside, Silver and other researchers predict that a genetic solution to preventing diabetes, heart disease and other big killers will be found and offered, as well as genetic inoculations against HIV. Eventually, the mind will be targeted for improvement – preventing addiction to alcohol a
