Genetic Engineering and stuff like DNA research is what can move us forward. It's ridiculous that something like morality stands in the way of this. We eat cows, pigs, horses. We sentence human beings to death, shoot them in wars and torture them when needed. But we can't experiment with stuff like this because it's not humane? Give me a fucking break.
Experiment! Experiment away until we are all super humans for all I care. If I had the money I'd fund it myself.

I really don't care about humanity in general. Its just we are stuffing up everything, but then, thats what we do. Ahh, well, if we can survive a nuke, we can survive anything. 'Humane' is a silly word, we gave that up when we started wars.
ANYway, back on topic;
I will admit, there are quite alot of helpful things with genetic engineering.
Like numerous disease could be cured, through, as BM said, gene therapy, which is the medical treatment of infected or damaged genes, or introducing theraputic genes, which helps revive and heal crippled genes. You could also screen a pregnants womans foetuses for any birth defect, and other illnesses. they may also be able to heal the child before it is born.Another benefit is that certain genes can be preserved from plants, like corn and oats, meaning they would be able to grow in harsher envrioments, and with less water. A benefit for third-world countries.
