Chris Dardar responding to Paul Root Wolpe: Bioengineering

Being a person usually pretty strong in conviction, I have no idea where I stand on Bioengineering. Wolpe does a great job painting the picture of where we are headed.  Science has made many things possible and there is no clear end in site. Ethics is what needs to be addressed.  Wolpe briefly discusses pushing the limits and who decision is it to say where we should stop.  In the educational setting science and discovery are components that have always been embraced.  However, the ethics of creation are tricky, especially in a christian environment.  Engineering life is not a message I feel comfortable promoting, however, the use of genetic studies to help prevent diseases is something I feel must be supported.  As a classroom teacher I feel it is important to educate our students on the capability of science and the possibilities of what is to come.
