Genetic Engineering: Playing God

Current technology is mapping of the human genome and will become a reality in the next ten years. With over 40 years of discovery of the basic structure of DNA, this development has evolved into the Human Genome Project. This is a $ 3 billion effort for 15 years to rank the entire human genetic code. Based on the guidance of the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy, the project has illustrated individual genetic markers.

Because some people think that genetic engineering plays God, genetic engineering is very controversial. This fact is not for progress of people who do not understand the value of genetic engineering, or because we are afraid of what kind of people genetic engineering brings. One of the discovered histories was genetic engineering, which produced many products that brought many applications to the world society. Although genetic engineering is beneficial, genetic engineering also has drawbacks including ethical and legal issues dealt with in today's society.

In genetic engineering, there are several ethical problems that need to be considered as a society. For example, those who agree with religion will consider genetic engineering as god. In a sense, we are "playing God." Everyone who believes in creation will obviously oppose genetic engineering, especially in human children. In addition, tampering with diseases may ultimately result in super-illnesses that are more difficult to fight. In genetic engineering, human body has too many variables to fully exploit its potential. Even if it is possible, people may be too nervous to believe that scientists will mess with future children's cells.

Human genetic transformation was once part of science fiction, but now it is increasingly scientific. According to Olga Khazan, many people wonder if we design our baby to meet our desires by changing the intracellular DNA "to play God". 1 When talking about changing the DNA of a living embryo, I will pose many questions about whether we should do this. How will these questions be morally correct or what we are playing God and what impact will it have on the social class when you join the cost? When we began to tamper with the creation of God, do we truly play God by removing God from the equation? "God made man in his figure and was made a man with God's appearance." After work he declared: "God saw everything he created, And it is very good ... "3 As we are created with the image of God
