In my opinion yes there are moral risks. I for one believe in creationism. I for one believe that God created everything down to the DNA of each individual. Although I do feel that creating embryos for genetically manipulating organisms is wrong it leaves me with a few unanswered questions. For instance if God gave us the knowledge to fix diseases, and other things should we? If we could heal cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s by doing this should we do it? If it’s for the betterment of humanity should we go fourth and test away or should we leave creation completely up to him? As I am maturing in my faith, I am also maturing in the knowledge and information that comes from prayer, scripture, and research with every day issues. As I go throughout learning more about biotechnology I will hopefully be able to form a more rounded opinion on my view of the subject. For now I will go fourth and find out more information pertaining to biotechnology and then find where my role within it lyes. I personally think that my role within biotechnology lyes within the church. The churches role with biotechnology is to raise the moral and ethical spiritual questions about

Scientists don’t know everything about the human body yet, and because of this, if we end up modifying something, it could end up affecting something important that we didn’t know about. We also can’t predict the outcome of the modification yet. Scientists could be able to possibly knock out a disease out of our genetic code, but since we don’t
