Genetic engineering challenges ethical boundaries from "summary" of Unstoppable Us by Yuval Noah Harari
Genetic engineering is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize humanity in unimaginable ways. With this technology, we can potentially eradicate genetic diseases, enhance our physical and cognitive abilities, and even create entirely new forms of life. The possibilities seem endless, but with great power comes great responsibility. One of the primary concerns surrounding genetic engineering is the ethical boundaries that it challenges. As we gain more control over our genetic makeup, we are faced with difficult questions about what it means to be human. Are we playing god by manipulating our genes? Are we crossing a line that should never be crossed? These are not easy questions to answer, but they are questions that we must grapple with as we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible. Another ethical challenge posed by genetic engineering is the potential for discrimination and inequality. As this technology becomes more widespread, there is a real risk that it will only be accessible to the wealthy and privileged, widening the gap between the haves and the have-nots. This c...
