But one must realize that a human being is a creation of a living being who has evolved through a billion years of adjustment and adaptation. His genetic makeup has been formed through years of exposure to varied experiences and environments both natural and artificial. The introduction of technology to sequence human genes may distort the inherent mechanisms of adaptation and adjustment.
Apart from that, human understanding and endeavors have limitations of time, foresight and vision. It is true that years of research have made human life liveable with minimum hurt and maximum medical benefits. Such research has resulted in a fragmentary understanding of the natural processes of human machinery. It has also flourished in areas that threaten human existence—biological weapons are the outcome of such research. It is now common knowledge that atomic energy research began for constructive purposes and has ended in devastating forms of nuclear weaponry.
