7th - Do you think it is ethical to use genetic engineering to undo genetic mutations? Why or why not? by Claire Railsback https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7 en-us 2019-10-25 19:09:38 UTC 2025-11-03 16:01:02 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f9ec.png https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760005 no bc you shouldn’t mess with your body after you’ve been born bc that is the way u were born and i should be happy with it ]]> 2019-10-25 19:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760005 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760121 Yes, because some people want to be able to change themselves because they don't like how they are living. Possibly how they look]]> 2019-10-25 19:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760121 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760123 I think that genetic engineering can be ethical in some cases if it decreases the risk of diseases and disorders because these can be very serious and often lead to death.]]> 2019-10-25 19:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760123 I'm sad lol https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760180 No because it messes with the laws of nature and that can lead to more problems]]> 2019-10-25 19:32:19 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760180 If it is in the terms of someone’s health using science to aid someone to a more efficient life style is not unethical, therefore it would be seen less as changing someone’s true identity rather correcting a bodily malfunction. https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760342 2019-10-25 19:32:46 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760342 Yes and no depending on the mutation. If one were to have a better, easier life... then yes. However something small and insignificant (blue eyes) there is no need. In plants however, I think altering their natural state to be suitable for looks in market is not ok. https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760388 2019-10-25 19:32:52 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760388 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760473 Yes, because if they have a fatal mutation that could eventually kill them, then they should have a choice to undo it or not ]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:06 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760473 no https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760478 You don’t know what the outcome could be.]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760478 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760486 Maybe, because you may be too ugly and you would feel humiliated so you would wanna do something.

However, we must be mindful to only eliminate the negative mutations because mutations can make someone unique and beautiful.]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760598 No https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760664 Sometimes it doesn’t end how you want it to]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760664 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760785 No because what if it cause bad things to happen after. ]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:54 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760785 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760796 Yes, because some people might not want to live like a mutant forever ]]> 2019-10-25 19:33:57 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760796 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760885 Yes because of someone wanted to change the way they are the could reverse that gene mutation ]]> 2019-10-25 19:34:11 UTC https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760885 https://padlet.com/claire_railsback_ttu/mutations7/wish/402760926 Yes and no.
