There is a mathematic rule that states “what you do to one side you must do to the other side”. Well in the essay “Supersize Your Child” Richard Hayes states “Scientists began predicting that someday we’d be able to genetically engineer our children” (pg85). He argues that if we change the genes of our future generation, then we are changing life itself. In 1859 Charles Darwin came up with a theory of how earth evolves called “Natural Selection”. Now Biologist has used this for several years, to comprehend how living things are produce. So therefore by creating this type of technology to create our children we are throwing away all the science that was ever invented (such as Natural Selection).
As a child, I grew up in a household, where nothing was just handed to you. You yourself had to earn what you wanted. So to me creating a human that is un-Godly, is insulting to me, because I work hard to get to where I need to be and then for someone who will never have to sacrifice a day in their life just get life handed to them. It is similar to playing someone in a sports video game and they have created players (their best player of all time) and you just have the normal players. How would you feel? On that note I am staying on Hayes side. No one was created perfect and it should stay that way (you have to learn from your mistakes remember).
In my opinion we need to let life be itself and that means letting it evolve. There is no need to let “humanity take control of its own evolution and kick it into overdrive” (pg85). So just let the earth keep spinning around the sun. I know this issue will continue in the world and there is going to be scientist out their continuously experimenting to make this possible. Well they need to stop and go do experiments to cure cancer for those who aren’t perfect.
