 =Should we genetically modify humans? = = = 

**How would it be done? **
Human genetic engineering is the porcess of transferring genotype from one creature to another creature. There are two main types of genetic engineering. Somatic modification is the process of adding gene in to cell other than egg or sperm.

**Somatic** engineering is the treatment when there are defective gene in our body, so doctors adding new fresh healthy gene in our body.
(figure 1 Somatic Engineering) (SOURCE????)

** In what cases migh this be justified? **

 * Disease could be prevented by detecting people/plants/animals that are genetically prone to certain //[|hereditary]// diseases, and preparing for the inevitable. Also, infectious diseases can be treated by implanting genes that code for antiviral proteins specific to each antigen.
 * Animals and plants can be 'tailor made' to show desirable characteristics. Genes could also be manipulated in trees for example, to absorb more CO2 and reduce the threat of global warming.
 * Genetic Engineering could increase genetic diversity, and produce more variant alleles which could also be crossed over and implanted into other species. It is possible to alter the genetics of wheat plants to grow insulin for example.

** What are the disadvantages? **
Human genetic engineering could cure lots of diseases; it is really useful process to human however, it cannot have only benefits. When there are benefits exist always disadvantages are following too. Disadvantages of engineering is GENETIC DISORDER. Genetic disodrer caused by abnormalities in [|genes] or [|chromosomes], which is one of the disease that people are having trouble with. Sadly when this disease occurs genes may be expressed in unfavorable ways or not at all, and this generally leads to futher more complication. People could climinate the harmful genes and adding healthy genes, however they don't know what they are. it would interfere with human patrimony namely with human life: and Nature. >
 * Nature is an extremely complex inter-related chain consisting of many species linked in the food chain. Some scientists believe that introducing genetically modified genes may have an irreversible effect with consequences yet **unknown**.(Such as???)
 * Genetic engineering borderlines on many moral issues, particularly involving religion, which questions whether man has the right to manipulate the laws and course of nature.

====Recently, there are some movies created with the topic of making clone, modify another clone for living neverends life. The movie "Ths Island" can be the perfect example of human genetic engineering. However, can clones take the place of the real huaman? Many people are debating about it. Most of people are arguing that clones canonot take place of real people. It is good for cure disease, however it cannot be living on after the real people died. What can be replace for after peoples' death. Many people are still arguing with the statement of "Clone cannot be replacing the real humans' space" This is why people devided in to two section which are people like the idea of making clone; people do not like the idea of making clone. <span style="color: rgb(243, 22, 22)">(THIS IS NOT CLEAR) ====
 * Social Issue**

What words can be use after clone exist, do they borned? made or produced? It is quiet difficult to concluded that they are born either produced. Even though they are clone, they still are human. They have rights to speak their own opinion, they have rights to live when they produced or borned by other people. Many people are thinking that it is just not right have take away clone's rights because they are clone. Some people are thinking only gods can make human and make human borned. This is because of religion, thoses people who believe in god, they are not agree with making clone and replace the place of real person. Many people are raise their voices to argue with the ethical problem of making clone or not. Is it ethical to make clone? <span style="color: rgb(153, 200, 250)"><span style="color: rgb(153, 200, 250)"> = =
 * Ethical Issue**

<span style="color: rgb(153, 200, 250)"> **My opinion**
<span style="color: rgb(153, 200, 250)"> ====In my opinion. I don't think making clone is right thing to do. I know that it helps a lot to cure our disease however it needs to be thinking that what people will going to do after they make clone. Clones are same human even though they were made it by human, but people always have prejudice of clone and real people. It cannot be stop====
