With recent advances in human genome editing, genetic data can be modified to prevent diseases and improve lives. A topical example of such modification are “Genome-edited babies,” babies who have had their DNA modified to be unable to be infected by HIV (Cyranoski). Though gene editing allows for improved health and lengthened lifespan, it may lead to discrimination based on the quality of one’s genome. Essentially, humans who have genes prone to a decreased lifespan would not have the freedom to bear children, in order to eliminate unwanted traits from the human gene pool. In other words…
