Imagine a world where having a child was more intense than now. Not only do you need to buy a crib but you have to decide how smart you want your child to be or what eye color they should have. This is what the future of gene therapy will lead to if our world is not cautious. It does have its benefits that can help our world. With the new technology surrounding gene therapy, we can save children from diseases and pain. The only issue with this technology is we are changing the genetic makeup of the child. Gene therapy may also become a prevention for genetic disorders such as saving a child from having Alzheimer's disease. Due to the extreme positive and negative effects in these procedures. It forces the future of gene therapy to become a two-sided argument. Will gene therapy help save our race or ruin it? By using gene therapy technologies, we are allowing future science to erase the creativity and uniqueness of the human race.
“The mistakes of Gene therapy can cause genetic damage that will alter a human’s genetic coding for generations to come” (Biologywise). The risk of ruining the uniqueness of humankind is more severe and worse than creating a perfect society. Perfect cannot be measured yet it is what humans strive for. We do not know the repercussions of the effects gene therapy will have our future

It would allow for a healthy security. “Gene therapy for cancer will require the cooperation physicians,molecular biologists,and virologists to develop safe,robust systems for clinical use. The ethical issues will be resolved by rigorous review of protocols” (Gutierrez). Nothing can be officially stated because we do not know what the future hold. Scientists say that gene therapy could be apart of our future as long as it has rules and becomes more developed. There is still so much unknown in the world of genes that scientists cannot say for certain if gene therapy will be able to help the future or
