By splicing genes or "cutting and pasting" chromosomes, the process of gene therapy can treat, cure, or even prevent disease by physically altering genetic structures. Genetic engineering has not only already been applied to countless industries, most notably in agriculture, it also holds great promise in many realms of medicine. But what are the ramifications of being able to pick and choose the genes we have and what are the ethical implications of creating "perfect" bodies for ourselves? (20040401)
