An Enhanced Genotype: Ethical Issues Involved with Genetic Engineering and their Impact as Revealed by Brave New World

Enhanced Genotype: The ethical issues involved in genetic engineering and its brave new world impact are constantly trying to improve themselves through the use of technology. So far, as seeds, we have done a lot of results: acquisition of electronic engineering, flight and space travel. However, the most advanced fields now are biology, especially genetic engineering. In the brave new world of Aldous Huxley, human beings acquired reproductive and biological as well as learning chemistry and physics.

Human genetic engineering genetically engineers genetic engineering by altering its genotype before birth. Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual with respect to a particular personality being considered. Engineering is done to control individual characteristics after birth. Human genetic engineering is divided into positive genetic engineering and negative genetic engineering. In positive genetic engineering, positive features of individuals are being strengthened. This may mean prolonging the life span or enhancing the person's abilities. Negative genetic engineering is to introduce good copies of genes into biological cells. Therefore, it can reduce genetic diseases

In the literature, the term "genetic engineering" actually has many synonyms: genetic modification, genome manipulation, gene boosting, etc. However, since genetic engineering involves the production of new genes, the latter contains only the production of the same copy of the gene in the organism, so this term should not be confused with cloning. Various food crops and products have been improved to provide better nutrition to consumers. For example, do you know that you can meet your daily needs for Vitamin A by eating rice by yourself? Scientists can create new varieties of rice called "golden rice" by inserting genes encoding vitamin A into common rice genes. This discovery is very useful for people's consumption of rice.

These new discoveries in genetic engineering and cloning are closely related to the birth process of the brave new world. In the brave new world, people are artificially born in test tubes. Everyone is considered to be the same: we share the same features, their way of thinking, and their ideas. Like Bernard at the beginning of the novel, people claiming to oppose the community's individual ideas are considered defective at birth due to laboratory errors and are eliminated by the community until they think about their own conditions . The scientific development of community genetic engineering and cloning has brought anti-individualism closer to reality. By genetic engineering, parents can select their child's characteristics and create a "child of poster", eventually each child will become a child of a poster and look the same. Huxley said:
