Dr. Martinez:

Advances in genetic engineering allow scientists to modify human genes to prevent diseases or enhance traits. Some people argue that this technology should be used to improve human health and abilities. Others worry it could create social inequality or unintended consequences. Do you think genetic engineering in humans is a positive development, or should it be limited? Why?

Student 1: Genetic engineering is a positive development because it can prevent serious diseases and improve quality of life. By addressing health problems before birth, people can live healthier, longer lives. The benefits outweigh the risks if it is carefully regulated.

Student 2: Genetic engineering should be limited because it could lead to inequality and ethical problems. Only wealthy people might afford enhancements, creating a society divided by “genetically improved” individuals. We cannot predict all long-term consequences, so caution is necessary.
