not genetic testing is good or not can be difficult to answer. I believe that it is a good thing to an extent. It should be used to help treat or cure people with certain diseases, but it should not be used to change the entire genetic make-up of an unborn child. What will the limits be on genetic manipulation? Many people believe that is where the majority of the controversy lies. The obvious choice would be for the government to place limits on this medical practice and some research (Kutukdjian 453). The problem with that lies in the fact that the individual governments of the world differ greatly, and they would be unable to set equal limits (Kutukdjian 453). Where will it all end? That is up to man. Ethics can vary from person to person, and no government can change the individual’s belief. The world is made up of many different types, or classes, of people. There are “third-world” countries and developed countries. Equal opportunities for everyone to have access to these procedures is a big concern. All countries, including the least advanced ones, must be ensured of reaping the benefits from this process, so that they can help to cure or find ways to treat hereditary diseases (Kutudjian 454). As I stated previously, a limit should be put on genetic testing to ensure equal opportunities. In order to correct diseases, genetic testing is a good thing, but to give an unborn child an unfair advantage, maybe, over child that are conceived in the way that God had intended. Ultimately, man will decide where to stop. Since man is not always ethical, the final stop on this “genetic manipulation bus” will be the abandonment of sex for procreation. All children will most likely be created in a lab much like in the movie “Gattaca.” Obviously, these procedures will be very expense, so the question of equal opportunities for everyone in the world comes into play. No matter how hard w...
