We have no proof at the moment that genetic modification will solve simple issues, let alone save us from death. Please cite sources when making claims such as this.

This is exactly the problem- what qualifies as "bad"? For example, most people would that if a baby will be born without the use of an arm, and that should the genes be corrected he would be okay, that this would be a good use of genetic modification. The gray area comes when we ponder if we should correct something that does not have specific consequences. For example, if one has a predisposition to alcoholism, should this be solved? What if there was only a 50% chance? Or a 10% chance? Would it be worth changing the genes? If one had an unknown risk of cancer, should this be modified?

These claims raise the problem that a governing association must be developed to approve such actions. Who would this consist of? Doctors might be biased, they might want money from the operations. Would everyone in the world trust one government? How would multiple governments work together?

One must also address the issues this brings to the world. Would not the most rich countries be favored greatly? This would lead to a disadvantage to poorer countries, whose people would be looked upon as a member of a new social class.

Overall, genetic modification leads to problems in the world around us, and should not be pursued in the near future.
