Genetic research seems to be the progress for the future. Nevertheless, it is clear that there are two sides to this issue. Whereas for some people it will involve a lot of problems, for others it will help us to develop.
First of all, genetic research could aid us to detect and sometimes prevent a lot of hereditary diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease. This means that we may live longer. Additionally, with this new technology we would be able to choose our children's physical characteristics, as well as change their bad genes in the case that they had any.
On the contrary, this research will have moral problems, such as discrimination. Some people won't be employed by companies because employers will know if their employees can develop an illness later. To make matters worse, by changing our children's characteristics we will come back in a world where eugenics could be the main problem.
In short, although there are some drawbacks, I defend the fact that genetic research shouldn't continue working unless we limit it by making new laws.
