    For my writing project three topic, I will discuss the ethical dilemma with scientists editing DNA in human embryos. So far, I have gathered some information on the benefits and negative attributes. A positive that has the scientific community excited about is being able to cut/take out defects in DNA. So if a mutation is spotted, all the scientists have to do is cut out the problem to cure the condition. A quick and effective way. As for a negative, quite a significant amount of people expressed the long term challenges socially. Many scientists say that having people biologically smarter will create a superiority aspect among people. There are more facts about this topic but this is the direction I am heading in.
