Genetic Engineering Bad

The Not So Perfect Human Many technological advances have come in recent years. One of which is the scientific research of genetic engineering. They have found ways to fix genetic mutations, cure diseases, and even just improve a child’s athletic or intellectual ability. Genetic Scientists are trying to genetically engineer children in the womb, but genetic engineering is an inferior practice because of the safety, financial, and ethical issues.
First, as our society gets closer and closer to genetic perfection, it has to monitor the safety of it’s people. When someone attempts to perfect the new child, they could easily mess up or fail in the process of creating the perfect baby. As the genetically modified baby is being made, the family
83% of people identify themselves as Christians in the United States and modifying their baby would totally contradict their religion. In the religion of Christianity, the god they pray to is perfect and makes no mistakes. Designing your own baby would take away from god’s perfection in the religion of Christianity. A Christian's baby would no longer be god's perfect creation; the baby would now be a machines recent product. Many people that identify themselves as Christians that are in support of genetic engineering say that with modifying genetics, their babies can avoid common

Although having this as a huge benefit in society for young kids’ health, it will be insanely tough for people to follow through on this. Many Christians have been practicing their religion since birth; their religion has been the base of their life since day one. It would be insanely tough for a parent to raise a child in this religion, if their child’s emotions were created by some sort of genetic engineering machine and not from their god.
