Genetic Engineering

[Tori]

In the future, do you think that there will be a race gap between the rich and the poor by way of engineering babies so that they won't have inherited diseases, but those who can't afford it will be left behind?

the new race would come about becuase there could be upto 10,000 genes different from us today and a baby who is engineered to have certain characteristics.

I think the people who can afford genetic engineering will already have the money and poor people will still be left behind as is nowadays. I don't like GE, you should take what you create and not have designer babies. it is faults and illness that make a person. GE are just too perfect

[di marco]

but surely new illnesses will just form? and probably ones which are worse than they are now

[dddMac1]

i think it will be the same as now
