Daniel Callahan says, #" That this attitude prevails because no really persuasive argument against continued research, developments and applications in genetics has been made." Callahan his for genetic engineering which again I disagree because it isn't the way a baby is supposed to be, you shouldn't try to create a baby you want it to become, but let God create the baby and just leave it along. There are arguments on each side and still more arising in the areas of animal rights, patenting, and environmental and ecosystem concerns. If you alter a baby embryo's genes, they will have a good or bad consequence out of it because we don't know yet what altering a baby embryo's genes can do to a person. Sometimes it may take hundreds of transgenic embryos for a single one to succeed. Failure must occur for knowledge to be gained, as a scientist will learn from their mistakes, improve, and probably fail again. Callahan once again says,# " That we should evaluate more carefully research that can potentially set in motion causal chains, of which some outcomes might conceivably be harmful." I don't like the way that Callahan says that they can further do research with genetic engineering and mite accidentally do something wrong. Eventually, succession must occur and when it does, the result was worth the mandatory trial and error. The world is not changed at the drop of a hat. All in all, transgenic organisms are designed not to harm nature's delicate balance but to enhance it for the good of it's inhabitants. Molecular biology and the DNA revolution are already having an enormous impact on medicine. .
David Smith says, #" That knowledge may be immoral in its use and, therefore, may be restricted." I agree with Smith because any knowledge about genetic engineering should just be held to the scientists that figure it out and no one else should know about it unless they are related to the experiment in any way.
