, many years ago small pox was widelyspread. Today it is almost nonexistent, because of the evolution of man. The only problem with this was ittook hundreds of years for our genetic code to adapt and make our bodies fight it. The moral question of genetic engineering is answered by looking at the advances in medicine. Today the advancements in medicine are evolving at an extremely high rate. If the science of geneticengineering is wrong, then so are the rest of the advances in medicine. The reason is because geneticengineering is just another form of medical advancement. Gene manipulation is not going to be used for anyother purpose except for the treatment and elimination of disease. The one thing that people need to realizeis the potential of genetic engineering. Try to visualize what parents of a child is dying from a disease likemultiple sclerosis think about the benefits of genetic engineering. Do they think that it is morally wrong orright? They think that it is right because it is going to save their childs life. Cloning is another form of genetic engineering that is not accepted as morally right. For example,to clone a human heart scientists do not have to clone the whole person. They only need to clone the heartby itself (http://www.humancloning.org/user/infertil/humancloning.html). This process of cloning wouldeliminate transplants and the use of anti-rejection drugs. It is; however, wrong to clone a whole humanbeing. There would be no purpose in cloning a person, because it offers science little or no benefits. Somepeople say that if they could clone Albert Einstein much more could be learned about science and the theoryof relativity. This is not true. If somebody is cloned, it does not mean it will be the same person in everyway. It only means that their genetic makeup will be exactly alike. The environment in which they grow upplays a major role in the development of the persons personality. Safety of g...
