Genetic manipulation as one of topic in sdgs no 3

 Hallo Good Morning, I'm Cindy  Nur Oktaviani from collage of vocational studies of IPB University

Genetic manipulation or laso called genetic modification is the direct manipulation of an organism’s genes using biotechnology. It’s a set of technologies used to changethe genetic makeup of cells including the transfer of genes within and accross species boundaries to produce improved or novel organism. In my point of view, genetic manipulation technology is very beneficial especially curing someone from rare diseases. For example, in that video a baby was produced and designed to help her brother who is suffering from Thalassemia major. Thalassemia major is a disease in which lack of protein production in red blood cells that develops jaundice and slows human growth and development. In that case, genetic manipulation technology made embryo which has manipulated and then it was implanted to the mother’s womb. And after the baby turned 18 months, her spinal cord was transplanted to her brother. So that’s the procedure how Thalassemia major can be cured. 

But even this genetic manipulation technology is very helpful for human, there must be some strict regulations from government about genetic manipulation technology. So this practice isn’t abused. There are some cases that use this procedure in wrong way. For example there are some families eho use this genetic manipulation technology to produce a baby according to thei wish such as the baby’s gender, immune system, etc. This certainly violates ethics and has an impact on future generation. 

So the conclusion is the genetic manipulation technology will be very beneficial especially curing someone from rare diseases. But there must be some strict regulations from the government about this genetic manipulation technology. So there are No. ethical blunders in this practice which have impact on future generation.
