Bioethics Interview

I interviewed Chiyuki about " If you could genetically engineer your child, would you do so? Why or why not?"

Her answer was " Partly No". The reason was that it is not natural for controlling the genes by human. Although she agreed to genetically engineer for health usage. For example, I think every parent will think they will want there children to be healthy, so if the child had a gene which cause specific diseases she said she will engineer those genes to become healthy.

I think I can understand her view. If I was a parent I will do such action. Although, is that good? Is that right for the human nature? Well there will be less diseases and it will really be a happy society but I think there are some things that we should not just step into. Umm... the issue of biotechnology is difficult.
