Modern Advances
Thinking about living in a world in which parents can customize their children before birth, or clone themselves so they can be at the hospital and at work at the same time frightens many in our modern world. Overall, people get excited about new technological advances, whether it is the newest version of the iPhone or a Smart TV, however new medical technology breakthroughs don't always leave the public so satisfied until they know it is safe. Pro-Science thinkers believe that genetic engineering experimentation, such as CRISPR-Cas9 a new way to edit DNA like never before, needs to advance in order to save lives in the future. This topic can be confusing for the average day citizen without further explanation or a basic biology understanding. Nevertheless, this much is clear: New DNA editing techniques make genetic manipulation seem possible, while global discussions concerning ethics may halt advances.
