"This article focuses on ethical issues associated with the use of genetic engineering to improve the health of human as well as his/her other capabilities. In the next few years, researchers believed that science will be able to recognize and eliminate congenital diseases across the world. It is also expected that genomics may allow people to change their own DNA, and in the process, improve his/her athletic prowess or brain power. There are several types of genetic enhancement, and one of which is somatic gene modification."
