The ethics of genetic engineering raise complex questions about the potential benefits and risks of altering genetic material. On one hand, it offers solutions for curing genetic diseases, improving crop resilience, and enhancing human health. However, ethical concerns include the possibility of unintended consequences, such as genetic inequality, where enhancements could be available only to the wealthy, deepening social divides. There are also worries about "designer babies" and altering human DNA for non-medical reasons. Additionally, concerns about tampering with natural ecosystems and species through genetically modified organisms (GMOs) pose risks to biodiversity and environmental balance. Balancing innovation with ethical responsibility is crucial.
