genetic enhancement

In the article discussing a Buddhist perspective on genetic enhancement, there are both positive and negative factors that can come into play when talking about this matter. Many Buddhists would see genetic enhancement as a bad thing in that it is interfering with nature, and changing the way of how it is naturally done and should be done. While this is true, there is also a strong acceptance in Buddhism that what is more important are the intended actions that are being done. For instance if what is being done can be seen as truthful and morally right then they would view this action as being adequate. In my own opinion on genetic enhancement I believe that it would depend on the situation to determine if could be beneficial or harmful. I think that as long as the person is willing to take the risks and possible malfunctions, then it could turn out to be a good thing. It can and most certainly has the potential to create cures for diseases that are deadly to humans which will also have a way to increase intelligence in our society today. I believe that in the future it will be a very common thing to see and that eventually it will be a normal thing for people. I do not think that it is looked at today as a normal thing in many peoples eyes.
