Even plastic surgery to me I cannot quite get across my mind to ever get it. Also, mutations would come about from changing DNA and I would not want to risk that just to change something about myself.Elise Eldracherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905742372112426605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-34251611832360169062015-12-15T18:42:44.233-05:002015-12-15T18:42:44.233-05:00Personally, some genes, like those for disease, I ...Personally, some genes, like those for disease, I could see being popular to be removed. Like facial reconstruction/plastic surgery was made originally for those whose faces and bodies were destroyed in war/accidents and then became popular for aesthetic reasons. being able to do that with genes, and being affordable, would be amazing for people who could find permanent treatment for genetic diseases. <br /><br />The ethics get sketchy when its currently only for embryos. But if somehow genes can be altered while in a living person, that will be interesting. For now, this seems like an interesting step, especially when editing eukaryotic DNA is still relatively new and more tricky than those of prokaryotes.Nikola Calikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12601896946778261895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3360356351594869925.post-70328101664553667372015-12-14T21:22:17.777-05:002015-12-14T21:22:17.777-05:00While altering DNA for aesthetic reasons seems une...While altering DNA for aesthetic reasons seems unethical, it could be useful for millions of people living with genetic diseases that are debilitating. I believe that the altering of DNA could help many people live normal lives and therefore should be researched.

Genetics is so great because its about natural process that allows for so many different combinations and variances that make individuals. They're are always risks when trying to manipulate DNA and if people started doing it commonly, nature would have to have some type of retaliation for doing its job.
