Should there be a limit to how much we intervene in our own biology, or does technological progress mean we have a responsibility to use it to its fullest extent?

Who decides what genetic traits are ‘problems’ that need to be fixed and which ones should remain? Could genetic engineering lead to a dangerous standardization of what it means to be human?

I like what that person said; adding to that I wanna ask…Could eliminating diseases alter the balance of life in ways we dont yet understand perhaps changing the way we perceive morality, destiny, and even the purpose of life?

Just because we have the ability to alter DNA, does that mean we should? I understand genetic engineering as a tool to eliminate diseases and optimize human living conditions, but doesn’t that interfere with the natural course of fate? Free will is a gift, but should we take it to the extent of redesigning our own biology? If illness or genetic conditions are part of our existence, wouldnt it be more natural and more meaningful to seek remedies from what the earth already provides like herbal medicine, rather than rewriting our genetic code to be free of those conditions? After all, who’s to say that having a certain disease isnt part of a larger purpose, shaping our character or life path in ways we cant immediately understand? Extending human life through genetic modification may seem desirable, but could it have unintended consequences perhaps allowing someone to live long enough to make worse choices or disrupt the balance of their own destiny? What do you think?

Would it be morally acceptable to use genetic engineering to create soldiers with no fear, no need for sleep and higher pain tolerance? Cuz then no need to force poor people into the military

Hmm what If we could engineer a virus that selectively kills criminals or dictators or terrorists even..would you support using it? Or is that just genocide with extra steps?

why genetically engineer the perfect soldier when engineering a robot soldier is much easier and less bound by the human form while also avoiding the ethical problems

Often times when I went to supermarket, I saw a “non-GMO” label on the produces. Does it mean GMO produces is less healthy?

I get that delayed ripening in tomatoes helps with longer shelf life and less waste, but doesn’t it also mean we’re getting fewer nutrients? It feels like this mainly benefits big companies that want to sell tomatoes that last longer rather than actually giving consumers better quality food.

Did you know? GMO tomatoes have higher levels of starch and lower levels of natural sugars which is why they taste bland compared to naturally ripened ones.

If we genetically engineer a chicken thats thicker and produces more meat, would that add to their cruel existence, or would it mean we can raise less chickens in the same amount of space (and thus give them better living conditions), orrr would it just make us consume more chicken than we did before and make their living conditions even worse?

Don’t delayed-ripening tomatoes often have weaker microbiomes? Making them more susceptible to fungal infections once they do start to break down?
