Humanist writer Fred Edwords has an enlightening and interesting concern. The original goal of such gene therapy is to heal. To rid the world of such terrible diseases as cystic fibrosis, is a truly wonderful thing. Jesus Christ was performing similar miracles in his time. Regardless if we are saving someone from disease, or giving them a genetic boost in height, we have fallen into the role of exalting the body.
Genetic engineering seeks to better the body.
It deifies the flesh. With genetic engineering, we may not have to face such relationships between body and mind. The two will be finally conjoined - working together like the organic friends they should be.
