Genetically Modifyed

When looking at this idea of genetically modifying things in particular humans and different organs what strikes me as interesting from the start is the fact that this is a completely new area that we really don’t know too much about. With many other topics that we look have information about that topic and can make more educated predictions as to what the effects of it could be. In this case there has been limited study done due to opposition from many groups. After reading the articles I believe that though this could be beneficial if the process could be refined and mastered but I also feel as if it could cause problems. I feel that this would help the organ shortage and could possibly save lives but living in a society that is very driven by physical appearance that is where the problems arise. I feel as though if this practice became more main stream it could cause many unforeseen problems. It would only increase our society’s obsession to look a certain way. Looking at plastic surgery now and how many cases we see daily of people who have gone overboard and become obsessed and sadly in many cases have even passed away due to complications. If it became acceptable to basically sculpt a person it could have seriously negative effects on society. Though I do feel this could be used in a good way, currently I don’t think that us as a whole are ready for it or would be able to handle it.
