Ultimate therapy... more like the ultimate bad idea

When I began reading the article "Ultimate Therapy: Commercial Eugenics in the 21st Century," I should have known it was something I would highly disagree with. There are few things that I can say I truly 100% stand by, unwavering to persuasion and debate, but human originality is definitely one of them. I have always believed that people should embrace who they are, loved for not only their outer appearance but for their inner beauty. If a woman becomes pregnant with a child she knows will inherit Downs Syndrome, is it really that bad if she decides to keep the baby? I feel like there is a reason behind everything and if the child were to be born disabled there is a reason for it. Sure, it sounds like a good idea. I am not arguing that genetic engineering technology is completely a bad thing- it's great that in future years we will have a resource to combat against disease and accelerate the natural healing process. However, I am saying that, this is my personal belief; to alter an embryo could be viewed as morally wrong. We should love our children no matter what...right? I feel it's not right to alter that "person" for what they were about to become. It's similar to the research behind being able to pick what sex your baby is, by giving it a specific shot in the early stages of development. I feel we shouldn't do it. Why should our generation be able to create all these perfect humans; creatures that soon become clones, because most will want the perfect child. I don't see the need to "improve" anything with the human race today. We can learn so much about our brains and bodies by disabilities, by challenges. As far as curing diseases and healing the mute, genetic engineering research may become a great advancement in our world.
