How will genetic engineering affect society?

Question

Please answer legitimately. Would you have somebody change the color of your baby’s hair, or eyes or even if they’ll maybe be prone to diabetes or high cholesterol?

Answer 1

My opinion is that it is messing with things that we don't understand.
Nobody really knows how life works, or how procreation really takes place.
By messing around we are destroying natural evolution, and creating potential situations for the spread of incurable disease.
Any of the pros can be examined, and the question 'Why?' asked.
There is almost always a logical answer.
Why do we need more food? Because the nutrition of present food has been destroyed by the fore-runner of genetic engineering - unnatural farming in order to make more profit.
Almost always there is an answer which ends up with - to make more profit.
Our current society is run on the idea that profit is essential. If we examined all these things down to the root we would see that society is definitely headed in the wrong direction, and genetic engineering is a part of that.
It's of no long term benefit to the human race.

Answer 2

If genetic engineering becomes a service like home renovation is today ,, you can expect a largely better individual in the cloned self , than the original.

diabetes and colesterol hording would be switched off. Maybe governments would go about to remove it from the pool !!

The aversion and fears over this is that the current capability is very unpredictable .
