Pros
Cons
The ethicality of genetic modification and meddling with nature.
Trace, Identify and Cure inherited/genetic diseases.
Further mutations and mistakes caused by modification.
Dive deeper into evolution and how characterisitics are passed down.
Genetic Modification
Genetic enhancement .
Still may lead to genetic defects in offspring.
Increased food security, modify crops to our nutritional needs.
Genetic modification such as cloning limits human diversity.
Human Genetics
Deadly side effects.
Expel diseases and syndromes in new borns.
More pros and cons
Pros
NEGATIVE TITLE
Affecting the food chain and increasing invasive species.
The ability to live longer and safer lives.
Misuse of this technology to create weapons.
Reduce environmental threats by enhancing biodiversity.
