In the last 40-50 years science has made a lot of progress. The field of genetic engineering has seen a lot of developments in these past years. This field is the most hotly debated aspect of science, as the consequences are can be far reaching and intense. Genes are the fundamentals of our make-up, the answer to why we are the way we are. To modify these tantamount to playing with the inherent and natural way of things. In my opinion, this is a step forward in trying to cure and save many humans from the curse of genetic diseases but also a potential weapon waiting to be abused by many of us.
