What parties are affected by Genetic Engineering?

# data[].attributes.body
The center for Genetics and Society are an organisation among many that thoroughly support Genetic engineering and Human Genetic Modification and they are affected because they'll have their research put to a stop. They have been researching for over a decade like many other organisations. Then there are organisations that disagree with Genetic Modification because they believe it is unsafe and unethical.

ADVANTAGES

-Prevents many diseases such as autism, down syndrome, Alzheimer’s and many other disorders.

-This helps biologists and genealogist give a better understanding in their respective field.

-Reduces risk of the offspring becoming obese and reduces risk of diabetes and cancer.

-This increases the lifespan of the children over 30 years and allows parents to give  their child a happy, healthy life.

-Genetic engineering is optional and the parents who disagree don’t have to alter their child.

-This process eliminates all mitochondrial disorders.

-The parents who disagree are hypocritical as they modify their children with prenatal supplements, education, religion, and morals.

 Where is Genetic Engineering forbidden?

# data[].attributes.body
Many countries including Australia, Canada and France forbid and have banned HGM.

Many scientific societies who ignore the ethical issues but look towards bettering and furthering our scientific future. The center for Genetics and Society (CGS), a USA based organisation urge the US to not only authorize and sanction the use of HGM but fund the use of responsible and effective uses of biomedical technologies. Countries such as the US and the UK have allowed practice of Genetic Modification because they believe they can make laws under guidelines and restrict researchers from crossing the limit.

Why is Genetic Engineering a wicked problem?

The world has been divided because of this issue. While many agree with genetic engineering and HGM, religious groups and human rights groups strongly oppose. This revolutionary scientific discovery can change the way we live and the way medicine works. This could help our race to take a giant leap into the future but groups such as the council of European convention in bio medicine and human rights disagree and linger on the ethical issues.

A designer baby is a baby whose genetic coding has been selected in order to eliminate a particular imperfection or flaw, or to ensure that a particular gene is present as the father or mother cell may lack a desired trait. This genetic modification or genetic engineering also allows the parents to select particular traits of the offspring. A scientist will be able to tell what physical characteristics the child will have during a process called a pre-implantation genetic diagnosis or embryo screening. The scientist can also recognise if the embryo will develop genetic disorders such as autism, down syndrome, Alzheimer’s and many other disorders. The first pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was in 1990 so this is not new technology as these experiments have been going on for more than two decades.

DISADVANTAGES

-If the genetic modification process is not done properly, it could accidentally kill the embryo.

-Parents might only use this technology for superficial purposes which might create a rift in society. (classism)

-The procedure is very expensive and it is unknown whether this will create difficulties further down the family tree.

-The technology is not 100% safe and not 100% accurate and may not work.

-Genetic alteration can affect children in such a way that they may not be able to change.

-Scientists may make mistakes as a gene may control more than one use and could affect another characteristic.

Examples of genetically engineered organisms currently on the market include plants with resistance to some insects, plants that can tolerate herbicides, and crops with modified oil content.
Genetic engineering is the process of adding new DNA to an organism. The goal is to add onew traits that are not already found in that organism.
