Although this blog will focus for the most part focus on the ethics of genetics, freedom of speech is also a part of that subject. Without freedom of speech there would be no one debating the ethics of genetics, just lambs lining up and having their genes go through random processes to look for interesting results. People have argued over whether toying with one's genes are ethical ever since gene therapy came to the spotlight. Some of the arguments have been that it is wrong to play God, or that it isn't right to use the stem cells found in aborted fetuses in attempts to cure various genetic diseases, that may only be cured through such methods. The question that I wonder is that if it allows them to live longer lives, why would they shy away from it?
