Genetic Engineering: A Blessing or a Curse?

Introduction Science is an organism growing much faster than fertility. The conversion time from plants to cockroaches and humans far exceeds the conversion time from calculator to computer. However, past science is always far away. It has promoted the progress of production, transportation and entertainment, but since genetic engineering definitely does this, there is no science that can deeply influence our lives. Of course, if there is new technology, people will oppose it.
Of course, natural selection, genetic drift, gene flow, and mutation are mechanisms of evolutionary change, respectively, resulting in randomness and genetic side effects without human intervention. Nature blesses the rest of the organs (and curses us), it does not function like an appendix. It affects certain pockets of human society. These evolutionary changes have occurred and lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. That is why humans are accelerating evolution - the ability to start sudden mutations and even the creation of species - they create their own unprecedented dangers and dangers.
There are already books on the ethics of genetic engineering, but a new controversy in CRISPR research focuses on human genetic modification. Accurate and viable human genetic engineering has been part of science fiction for decades. According to the viewpoint of genetic modification, human beings of genetic engineering are distant fantasies or ghosts that have existed for centuries. Since the CRISPR experiment did not use viable embryos, this study did not produce children, but the CRISPR team demonstrated that transgenic humans are possible. Human genetic engineering ethics is no longer a problem to be dealt with in the distant future, it is a very relevant discussion at the moment. So what are the advantages and dangers of human genetic engineering?
Human genetic engineering is inherently bad. For most people, the terms "genetic engineering" and "genetic modification" are full of bad meanings - suggesting selfish motives, crazy scientists, and uncontrollable techniques. Not only that, it's just a tool. Even those with a positive meaning like "genetic editing" should call it neutral. Human genetic engineering may be in danger. We do not know any possible flaws in CRISPR / Cas 9 technology, we do not know. Generally, pregnancy and breeding are very dangerous and often cause stillbirth, genetic defects, congenital defects, and the like. For example, if "no hazard" is a condition for making a baby, not a hearing impaired, it is not allowed to bring a baby together. It is not permitted for a woman to have a baby at home without a teacher. Infertility medicines are not permitted. Women aged 40 or older or under 16 years old can not be pregnant. But these are not true
