            Many people don't know of Eugenics. Eugenics is a growing threat to the human race. For years it remained hidden in labs and only available and tested by scientists on animals and individual cells. As the years have progressed, so has the popularity of the process. Eugenics is the genetic alteration desired through the improvement of composition within human genes. Recently, it has broken out to the public. It has developed into methods of bettering athletes with gene modification, the newest leading project of creating "designer babies", opened up opportunities for animal and human cloning, and has been used for years to prevent,treat, and discover diseases and replace the infected genes/cells with genetically modified preimplantation of beneficial and curing DNA strands. Eugenics and Gene Therapy has been used for both disease treatment and experimentaion and for non-disease related experiments. Is the process of genetically modifying,enhancing, or altering genes in humans worth exploring by allowing further support and acceptance, or should we as a society decide that the manipulation of genes for non-disease purpose is unethical? For my persuasive essay I will side against the process entirely. I do not believe it is humanely right, as being such a powerful force as humans as we already are, to proceed to the extent to consider genetically modifying humans for non-disease purposes when we are made the way we are supposed to be.
