Abstract

genetic enhancement is a type of genetic engineering that improves genes so humans can function at an above average level. In the year 2000, the American Association for the Advancement of Science created a policy stating, 'IGM [inherited genetic modification] should be used only for cases which are clearly therapeutic' (Stock 178). However, a mother of three sons, Sharla Miller, paid $18,480.00 for a female baby because, '[she] couldn't get it out of [her] mind that [she] wanted a daughter' (Kalb, N. Pag.). Between the years 2000 and 2004, people have already begun to abuse genetic enhancement by using it for cosmetic purposes and ignoring the possible consequences. Will our use of this scientific discovery prove to be disastrous to the world and the human race?
