idea about genetic engineering and future society: Chang

In some people's minds, genetic engineering is optional technology and accessory for better life style that will bring more comfort and convenience to us in future. the criticism about it depicts the flaws and undesirable situations such as disasters, social problems and ethical problems that genetic engineering will cause. In practical sense, there seem no problems that makes us realize that genetic engineering is necessary in everyday lives. it is still questionable and debatable weather development of this technology is right or wrong. but what if genetic engineering is absolutely necessary for our survival in future and it is inevitable that we develop this technology?

In the class reading, "enemies of promise" by Micheal Bishop, Bishop points out that In long run, research in science and technology improvement will offer the great achievement that we have had with science in history. he says " Price of science seems large, but to reject science is to deny future." Genetic engineering is one very small portion of study in science but still it offers the great potential and fortunes that will eliminate the problems and bring better qualities of life.

Weather that improved quality and convenience is necessary is questionable. but it is unquestionable that the problems occur constantly and we have to face that problem to survive. very obvious and crucial problems lies on our economy. such problems are the growth population and exhaustion of natural resources. we enjoy the benefits of cheep genetically engineered food that is much more efficiently produced than natural food and medical technology of human genes that eliminates the potential risks for lives. if we did not have the technology for these problem, we would not have reached the standard of living of today. no technology is perfectly developed. followed by the improvement, there will be unwanted consequences and those are another problems to solve or live with.

In my opinion, future society will mostly benefit from the improvement of the genetic engineering. however, the major problem will be timing of technology development that fails to meet demand because of circumstantial lags from conflict between public, government and private sectors. this major conflict can be caused by difference beliefs and ideology, misapprehended or misguided information or generally corruption. as society grow more and more complex everyday, in future fast and efficient technology development will be very important. also for some ethical reasons, debate among reasonability for technology development will cause many conflicts more than ever. possibly, some people will fail to accept the side effect caused by genetic engineering. these problems are a lot like the problems that we have in now a days but in future, these problems will be much more complex, difficult to resolve and intansified.
