Hello, I have my essay due tonight and I have wrote my drafts and received my teachers comments back. I am just needing some help with catering/answering her comments ... The essay is for bioethics class and its on human genetic editing. I am argueing that these technologies should only be used as medical treatments to treat debilitating disease and not for human enhancements.

 

This is the paragraph I wrote:

On another note, it is important to consider the genetic concept of "natural selection", which is one of the cornerstones of modern biology. This random genetic drift is the prevailing explanation for adaptive evolution; that is, species slowly acquiring traits essential to their long-term survival. The CRISPR-Cas9 system could certainly undermine this in very unpredictable ways, if used widely and inappropriately. 

 

This is my teachers comment:

-Interesting. Some (e.g. the Enriquez tedtalk for the first week of class) might argue that this is actually the next step in human evolution, that we are now able to take evolution into our own hands, so to speak. It'd be interesting to see how you could respond to this.

 

What would be a good rebuttle to this ?
