- 1.10 Genetic Engineering
- Con
- There is too little info about the long-term consequence.
- It has effect which would be irreversible, so if anything went wrong it would be permanent.
- It treats the human body as a commodity no different from plants
- Pros
- Offers the prospect of cures for currently incurable diseases.
- Cloning processes have been used to grow healthy cells to replace the malfunctioni-ng ones and so cure diseases.
- Genetic research is closely monitored by the law, but has vast potential benefits.
- Con
- 1.11 Genetic Engineering + Christians
- For
- God gave humans domination (power) over the world. Christians believe that as long as it doesn't cause harm, some forms of genetic engineering, such as GM would be acceptable.
- The Golden Rule for some Christians could mean genetic engineering to cure diseases and disorders is acceptable.
- Jesus healed people and Christians believe they should follow his example by trying to improve the health of others.
- Some Christians believe that God has given us the gift of knowledge and we should use this and technology to help develop and possibly save human life.
- Against
- Only God can create life + humans should not 'play God'
- Life is sacred + special & created by God so humans shouldn't be doing anything against this.
- Some Christians, such as Catholics, believe life begins at conception & are opposed to anything that involves research on embryos when some are discarded.
- Most Christians would be against genetic engineering curing 'defects' that don't cause suffering, such as being short sighted.
- For
