Human Dignity

[nl1234]

Overall I think the ethics of biotechnology can be quite invasive in learning everything scientist can about humans and life in general. Although the ultimate goal behind the biotechnology will be the preservation of human life on this planet such as survival of the fittest with the biobanks, stem cell and cloning research. Unless something deadly came out of this I don't really have any concerns other than us as human being we are not letting nature take its course. We are altering the timeline of our existence unlike other animals such as sharks that have evolved over hundreds of millions of years and still thrive in our oceans today. After reading the article though my opinion hasn't changed I see the merit behind these programs to ensure that we will be on this Earth for a long time but there does come a point were nature really needs to take its course otherwise we wouldn't have evolved in what we are now today.

Discussion Question: Do you think the world will come to a point that we need the genetically modified food in order to sustain our population?
