Pros and Cons of Human Genetic Engineering

Many people in the world have a fear of dieing. Many people would love to live longer and some people just want to live their normal life. If you had the opportunity to be remade and live longer, would you take that opportunity? With technology advancing, it is possible to increase the live span for humans to 100-150 years. Many people also have the dream to remain young forever. Scientists are advancing on this dream and are trying to make it possible to slow down certain cellular metabolisms.

Scientists supposably say that with genetic enginnering, the body will be free of diseases. I don't think that is true because everyday something new is discovered. New diseases form and somehow will find a way around the blockage to attack the human body. Nevertheless, it is also good to be sick sometimes. The immune system learns of the disease or sickness and can produce anti-bodies to help from getting this disease or sickness again. It only makes the body stronger.
