Essential Question: Genetic Engineering

Question: Should genetic testing on consenting humans be opened to medicine?

Claim: Yes, because genetic testing on humans will further our understanding of genetics.

Reasons: With the help of gene therapy, we will be able to cure previously incurable genetic diseases. Through the alteration of certain retroviruses, we can insert desirable genes into affected organs which will replace defective genes, thus treating the condition. Genetic testing on humans will allow us to go a step beyond conventional treatment and actually start curing these debilitating diseases.
