Gene-editing
When it comes to the issue related to the entire humanity, arguments are sure to be divided into various parts. That’s what is happening on the gene-editing technology. To Straightly express my opinion, I disagree any immature alternation on human genes, which related to human life-and-death situation and even the future generations.
Firstly, there is regulation that embryo cannot be experienced if it is aged more than 14 days, which cater to the ethical problems. I suppose that every formal regulation is valid, which concerning the interests of majority of people and preventing most potential problems. For example, if the regulation will be broken down, does it mean that lives of any ages can be put into experiment including children and adults? And then, it is likely that some people may purposefully do human-trafficking into experiment for own interests. Briefly, the process to advance gene-editing technology is likely to lead to the destruction of the present regulation and cause social problems, which deserves our concern.
Secondly, it is not a mature technology to put into practice. It quickly runs into the realm of paranoia that many scientists claim that when the DNA of HIV is eliminating, some other DNA will be destroyed either, which may lead to other potential problems. These claims show that the technology is not mature enough to popularize. Every vanguard of any field should make sure that we cannot ignore any potential and unpredictable causes, particularly on the field of biology, which closely connected with human life and evolvement.
Furthermore, I individually sense that this era is a era where includes people who are anxious to achieve quick success and get instant benefits. From some present news and information, l learned that some elementary experiment on gene-editing had been done, however, they were stopped for ethical or other reasons. So this so-called “breakthrough”is likely to be a objection for whom want to quickly “prove” himself in this field. In turn, however, it actually cannot bring benefits to human as he claimed and even cannot protect the common life of those two babies, who will become the object of media concern.
It is groundless to deny the whole technology, which contains some scientific foundations. However, l strongly consider it need further experiments and analysis which lead to results without hazards and ensure the safety of human beings.
