There are a number of questions that I have in mind that puzzle me all the time about genetic engineering. Why would anyone like to spend that great amount of money just to do genetic engineering and alter a baby’s genes. Why would anyone even want to try and alter a baby’s genes. What would someone do if they succeed in altering a baby’s genes to their approval and wants in a baby. What would happen to the baby in the future if they did succeed in genetic engineering. Are there any advantages or disadvantages if they succeed in genetic engineering. Where the baby would be held if they do try an experiment on genetic engineering. Who’s care would the genetically engineered baby would go to. Thousands of adults may have no idea that they are a carrier for a recessive disease. When they mate with another of the same genotype, there is a chance that their child will bear the burden. An example of this incident is Hunnington’s disease. With modern genetic testing, there is a possibility that these defects can be detected ahead of time, enabling defective genes to be replaced with healthy ones. Genetic screening can be performed on adults, but even embryos can be tested through chronic villa sampling. Then, if a problem is detected, adjustments can be made. Many may argue that this procedure is interfering with the decision of nature in creating this child. But is it truly humane to let a creature so hindered live a happy and healthy life in a challenging world such as this? Hardly not. Through genetic engineering, a defective child is given a second chance to live it’s life to the fullest, unconfined by genetic limitations.

Mutations can occur in a number of ways, from crossing-over to environmental factors. My decision is that I believe that genetic engineering is one area of science that should remain untouched because it is immoral and is against all that the Church teaches us. If we don’t go into genetic engineering, we will never know if we are able to alter a baby’s genes to satisfy what we want our babies to grow up to be. If we don’t go into genetic engineering, we won’t know if there is a bad or good affect in the future on the baby. If we don’t go into genetic engineering, someone won’t get the information and use it for evil purposes, even thought genetic engineering is already evil itself.
