Genetic technology is advancing rapidl

Since genetic technology is advancing rapidly, modern medicine has adopted it because it is an effective approach of diagnosing and treating genetic disorders and diseases. Genetic technology is gaining significant application in the field of therapy because germ lines and somatic cells are applicable in treating diseases such as leukemia, sickle cell anemia, and Parkinson’s diseases amongst others. Given that genetics forms the basis of human health, eugenicists are advocating the use of eugenics in improving genetic attributes of people such as intelligence, morality, and physical health. Both positive and negative eugenics are important because they enable society to improve good qualities and eliminate bad qualities respectively. Although gene therapy and eugenics aim at improving the health of the population by the 22^nd century, they pose significant dangers to humanity. Foreseeable dangers are increased discrimination of people and deterioration of moral values that protect human dignity.
