Is it just a game?

Have you ever seen a chicken which is bigger than a man or a rat with a human ear on the back? I never saw a thing like that until our English teacher showed us some pictures and I can only say that with genetic engineering is everything possible.

One the one hand genetic engineering is very useful. First of all for our health. Cheers genetic engineering we can heal certain diseases and we can create new ears and things like that. For example if someone has an accident and looses a ear we can create a new one on the back of a rat. For this genetic engineering is very useful.

Apart from that there is the dark side of genetic engineering. Fingerprints and things which make a person unique can let the state with the help of genetic engineering control everything. Have you seen the film “GATACA”? In this film everything is controlled by the genetics. Imagine a world in which every step you make is controlled by the state. I ask you, is this still a life?

Personally I think genetic engineering can be very useful. In my opinion it’s a good thing to help people but the human should not play with the genes.
