Genetic Engineering-Gattaca

[t_davis925]

After watching the movie Gattaca in my biology class, we were assigned an essay on the whether or not genetic engineering is morally correct. It piqued my curiosity, and I wanted to see what other people thought about it. It think my essay is attached, but I'm not really sure how to do it.

To guage its moral correctness I suppose you would first have to identify from where your moral standard comes. Might be interesting to find opposing philosophies; one that would prohibit such actions and one that wouldn't. Ya know, dig into the grey; look outside Christianity as the default moral yard stick.

(edit: read a little into your essay. Needs monster organization and revision. If the topic is about the morality of genetic engineering you may want to put that in there. What you have is a sloppy pro-con list.)

Btw, you have a bunch of "it's" where "its" should be.

I apologize for the sloppiness of my essay, I did it the night before it was due and there was only one permissible format, which didn't allow much in the way of creativity. I also thought Spooky was an atheist, but his quote (and I do know its just a quote) makes it seem like he believes in god. I am also an atheist for the record.
