Human evolution

Q For several years we humans have practiced artificial evolution, from specialty crops in agriculture(fruits and vegetables) to our livestock(chicken and cows) and even our pets (dogs and cats). We’ve been able to artificially select the traits we wish to enhance while reducing the traits we wish to eliminate. This has lead to efficient crops that withstand harsh weather, larger livestock, and various types of dog breeds. Given our advancements in medicine and human genetics we have come to a point where we can now begin to alter our own DNA. Watch the following video which discusses a potential scenario where we humans control our own evolution. 5pts Provide your thoughts on humans controlling the genetics of future generations. There are negatives and positives to take into account? What do you think would be the worst case scenario and best case scenario to altering your own genes?

It is quite an interesting concept to see how humans are controlling the genetics of future generations. It is interesting because it can give a person the ability to walk for a soldier who lost his or her legs in battlefield. It can provide a photographer a chance to proceed with their dreams of photography even if they lost both their arms. It also advances to the level where it can advanced to control reflexes so that a person can easily dodge a bullet or change gene code to eliminate hereditary diseases. It is interesting but scary too when done on a macro level because it creates the possibility of changing every aspect of what makes us human. There are negative and positives to take into account when talking about evolution of human body.
