[gooblelicious]

...and what are the negatives to ir?

[Danielle DP]

benefits:
Cures for genetic disorders
Reasearch for future diseases
You can find out about and kinds of mutations or "mess ups" in your family's gengtics

Negatives:
It is basically aborting babies ( but you have to stop and think that women have been aborting babies for years, and weither it is illegal or legal, women are still going to continue to do it. I think that it would be a good idea to take the babies that women are going to abort anaways, and they should use those to study.)
Moral or inmoral - (it is VERY ethical! Many people think that it is killing a life, while other think that it is saving a life (because we can find cures, and help people with diseases). So it is your decision on what you think.

Thanks!
