The 21st century is the time that full of the opportunities of science and technology, and genetic engineering is one of most significant fields. We have experienced how powerful that our the daily technology have been affecting us since Nikola Tesla began the modern technology by his great inventions. Nowadays, we are living in a life that much better than our fathers, and we will live better than now. But humans are not only satisfied in improving our living goods anymore, because no matter how well we live, we still have to face diseases and death one day. So genetic engineering is the way to solve those problems. Moreover, it is the key to eliminating illnesses, technologically updating our bodies, and even to the immortality. Disease Elimination First, let’s start at eliminating the disease. Everyone has got illnesses in their life, common illnesses can be divided into two aspects: infectious and non-infectious, and reasons …show more content…
“The public was unenthusiastic on all counts, even about protecting babies from disease. Most, at least seven out of 10, thought scientists would rush to offer each of the technologies before they had adequately tested or even understood them,” said by Gina Kolata in the New York Times(“Building a Better Human With Science?”). So we can see that the most oppositions are humans ourselves, plus these techniques are still unstable, immature, and expensive. But by the Moore’s law(Beal/“Moore's Law."), these technologies will soon be popular and cheap. (Humphries, "A Moore's Law for
