The Genetics Crystal Ball

1. Pros
Genetic testing can determine baby future abnormalities.
If one can acquire some kind of cancer.
Change the physical appearance of a baby, such as eye color.

Cons
Changing the way a baby originally is supposed to look.
Can lead to many political problems.
It can be abused either by future parents, government, and other people such as employers.

2. The main point that should be grasped from this passage should be that while yes genetic testing has its potential, but it also has its disadvantages. Being able to "turn the key to unlock secrets of life" can be good but it can also lead to some problems, many people face later on; whether it is politically or religiously. Genetic testing can test for abnormalities and many more disease but it can also allow you to even change the color of a baby's eye before it is born. Someone affiliated with a religion would take that into offense and say that a gift from god should not be modified but accepted for who it will be. Genetic testing can "open doors to Nazi-like effort to breed and have a super-race," which leads to some of the political problems we had in the early years.

3. Designer children means that the parents has the capability to evaluate the health of the baby even choose the baby's eye color. With genetic testing, it allows parents to determine if the fetus will be born with abnormalities and could open doors to abortion because their baby would not be perfect. With that being said, with genetic manipulation, parents have the ability to design their perfect baby.

4. I would like to know how my future will be medically. I would like to know if i would ever suffer or be depressed because of some rare ill disease or have a common disease like cancer. I would like to know so that i can start preparing myself for what might say is inevitable.

5. I would still proceed with a relationship because one should look beyond the defects and focus on who the person, per se.
