The Ideal Human

Altering human DNA to be the very best at its full potential is viewed by many to be corrupt and only dooming ourselves to have split societies. Science has come a long way from genetically cloning animals to in the near future, genetically engineering a child with certain characteristics the parents are willing to give. Does this necessarily mean that the child is made to do exactly what he or she is genetically coded to do? This is a major concern from basically taking away any sort of human right the child may have in having a choice, but also rules can be regulated based on trial and error exercises. While genetically altering genes is within our lifetime, we should be able to use it only if it is closely regulated with rules and guidelines necessary.

Science has taken off in the past twenty years of discovering new technology to make our lives better however; the price of it may only allow a slim piece of the worlds’ population. Making it affordable to everyone wouldn’t make it as significant as it is brought out to be in having the “perfect” human in your point of view. The vision of genetic engineers is to do to humans what we have already accomplished to other natural resources such as plants and livestock. (Orion) Essentially, the human race would be creating DNA that is unlike our existing species, spawning risks that can evolve, but can be coordinated with the correct supervision and possibly create a society with perfect structure or go wrong and chaos around the world would trend.

New medications are made daily to help with certain types of health problems and as simple as the common cold. Huge amounts of data have been combined for an assessment of the health and body composition of the people whose DNA is sequenc...

...rom now we will be able to use and identify how we can properly and ethically produce such beings. Not only producing the ideal perfect human gene is beneficial, but learning how to prevent certain illnesses and experiment with new medications that will make living longer. Collecting broad amounts of data throughout the world of all types of generations and professions, we can create a DNA encrypted code that should be closely regulated based on genetic manipulation, not to hurt the society, but to slowly help people at a realistic rate. The way the future is looking is promising towards a better way of life and if we keep heading down this road to our idea of perfection, supervision is needed to stabilize populations where genetic altering is placed and for every human in society to have an opportunity to be placed in a type of gene category for future evaluations.
