The purpose of our research study was to determine the social and ethical aspects of genetic engineering. What originally began as a way to decrease an embryo's risk of genetic diseases has now become a way to alter its appearance; this paper aims to challenge the risks of genetic engineering. To dive deeper into our research question, we were able to examine sources on a global level to determine the perspectives of genetic engineering in different parts of the world. As the current field of genetic engineering is under speculation by many providers, evaluating the pros and cons of each scenario can determine the efficacy of genetic engineering. Employing clinical technology and socially ethical framework were two main criterias which were used in determining the parameters in understanding if genetic engineering is a viable treatment option. The research examined explains any known sideaffects, while also bringing to light the unknown side effects that can result from genetic alterations of an embryo. In summation, this paper aims to highlight embryonic effects and how genetic engineering could challenge their integration into society itself.
