The answer is that we will not have that right, and we will be
officially artificial.
Technology and the rate of discovery have increased
exponentially over the past several years. Humans are racing
into a world of new technological possibilities because we can
without ever taking a break to consider if we should. With a
world of innovation comes a world of moral implications, and
to be successful and thrive we need to be a part of both.
Genetic engineering could be the newest medical
breakthrough, saving the lives of many; but it could also be the
end of many other people as well, leading to a future of
breeding humans as super-athletes for the Olympics, and
increasing discrimination, as we alter our genetics in the race
for ‘perfection.’
