The modifications to the human genome currently being studied and experimented with will eventually change human nature in the following ways. By controlling the human genes, people could be able to create an ideal human. For example, parents who want intelligent children may be able to have one by operating their children's genes. However, it may be against the original thought that children are gifts and may kill their personalities. People seeking for higher ideal may lead to a world where everyone is perfect but has no individuality.
You point out a great truth. When everyone is special, no one is special.
返信削除I think my comment is alright, but I could have gone into more detail.
返信削除I agree with your idea. If we ever got in that situation, we have to re-question ourselves that what is to be a human, what is to live a life...so that we might remind of the importance of individual identity as a human.

返信削除It doesn't seem to be attractive to me that everybody is perfect in the same way; though they have great abilities that we might want to have.

返信削除I agree. Though being "enhanced" might be an ideal for us now, we might have to think for ourselves once more about what is to live as a human.
