Question

10. You and your significant other decide to try to have a baby. Your doctor mentions gene doping, a futuristic procedure which could allow you to alter your baby’s genes. The possibilities are endless, increased intelligence, creating a physically altered child who could compete in beauty pageants, even enhancing athletic potential. Do you go through with the gene doping, trying to create the next Noble Prize candidate? The next LeBron? What repercussions could this lead to?

Answer 1

10. Gene doping is the alteration of DNA in a person's body to improve the performance of the body. Gene therapy is mostly used to enhance the performance of athletes. The doctor will alter the father's gene, mother's egg, or a fertilized egg to manifest the needed changes in the fetus. In somatic gene alteration made on lung or muscle cells. Genetic doping could improve the performance of the athletic of the future child but it also causes dangerous. It also causes some danger to fatal life. So I will not accept to go through gene doping. In gene doping the erythropoietin, the protein is frequently administered which affects the red cell production and risks of the child.  So I believe it is not safe to undergo. Most of the government has banned this practice and some agencies are against gene doping. This will create an ethical dilemma in the future.
