9 Quotes About Genetic Engineering

What’s more important than genetics? There is no “one size fits all” solution to the problem of helping people who would like to use their own eggs and sperm to make their own babies. But the field of genetic engineering is making some progress. Scientists are exploring ways to genetically modify human embryos before they’re implanted in a womb. This is very controversial and highly controversial Read more

Some think we should let nature take its course and let nature sort it out, while others believe that we should do everything we can to help people who would like to use their own genes. Overall, it is time for us to try something new! And the only way we can do that is to be open-minded and explore new possibilities.

Dr. Blockhead's mocking face was solemn for once. 'Modern science is wiping out deviant strains of the human form, ' he said. 'In the twenty-first century, genetic engineering will do more than merely eliminate Siamese twins and alligator-skinned people. It will make it hard to find a person with even a slight overbite or a large nose. I can see that future and it makes me shudder. The future looks like- him' Dr. Blockhead pointed at Mulder.'Imagine going through your whole life looking like that, ' said Dr. Blockhead.Mulder shrugged. 'It's a tough job- but someone has to do it. . Les Martin

Too many of our preferences reflect nasty behaviours and states of mind that were genetically adaptive in the ancestral environment. Instead, wouldn't it be better if we rewrote our own corrupt code? David Pearce

The Hedonistic Imperative outlines how genetic engineering and nanotechnology will abolish suffering in all sentient life. This project is ambitious but technically feasible. It is also instrumentally rational and ethically mandatory. The metabolic pathways of pain and malaise evolved only because they once served the fitness of our genes. They will be replaced by a different sort of neural architecture. States of sublime well-being are destined to become the genetically pre-programmed norm of mental health. The world's last aversive experience will be a precisely dateable event. . David Pearce

I predict we will abolish suffering throughout the living world. Our descendants will be animated by gradients of genetically pre-programmed well-being that are orders of magnitude richer than today's peak experiences. David Pearce

I think they are a better race than humans ever were. Angelo Tsanatelis

The only thing we can try to do is to influence the direction scientists are taking. Since we might soon be able to engineer our desires too, perhaps the real questions facing us is not 'What do we want to become?', but "What do we want to want?' Those who are not spooked by this question probably haven't given it enough thought. Yuval Noah Harari
