Genetic modification technologies offer disease treatment but raise ethical concerns. This paper argues against their development due to justice impacts, advocating for public discussion and regulation of inheritable genetic alterations.

Area of Science:

Genetics
Bioethics
Sociology

Background:

Advances in genetic research and reproductive technologies enable potential inheritable human genetic modification.
The prospect of modifying genes for disease treatment or enhancement raises significant ethical questions.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the ethical and justice implications of inheritable human genetic modification.
To evaluate the potential societal consequences of using genetic technologies for enhancement purposes.

Main Methods:

Ethical analysis of genetic modification technologies.
Exploration of justice-related impacts on future generations.
Review of current regulatory frameworks and public discourse.

Main Results:

Keywords:

Analytical Approach Biomedical and Behavioral Research Genetics and Reproduction

Developing inheritable genetic modification technologies poses significant justice challenges that are difficult to mitigate.
The potential for unintended consequences and exacerbation of social inequalities is high.

Conclusions:

Strong arguments exist against the development of inheritable genetic modification technologies due to unavoidable justice impacts.
Public education, broad societal discussion (including religious communities), and enhanced regulation are crucial for guiding future genetic research and applications.
