Creates People have always wanted to see the success of human capacity and Biotechnology only defeats the power of human ability and success, If everyone has the advantage, then it is no different than today, the playing field has just been elevated. Contradicts A defining characteristic of humanity is that the individual must exert effort in order to acheive self-improvement and Biotechnology can be used to effortlessly acheive goals and outcomes, then Using biotechnology to acheive perfection will cause a loss of humanity., Death is Painful for families and friends, even those who are dying... avoiding it would be beneficial for all contradicts Using biotechnology may cause death to become an unacceptable end to life., Biotechnology could be used to avoid the period in life of old age. modus ponens; therefore Using biotechnology may cause death to become an unacceptable end to life., The scale of change may be different, but the ultimate outcome will be the same because chosen traits for future generations will almost certainly be traits that are considered to be positive and would have been the ultimate outcome of evolution anyways. objects (ConfScheme) Using biotechnology to pursue perfection alters the body on a scale not seen in human history., With regard to enhancing performance, biotechnology and steroids are exactly the same. perfect analogy; therefore Using biotechnology to pursue perfection would generally be considered to be an unaceptalbe form of self-improvement., If humans need time to become accustomed to the idea of their own death and as humans age, they usually follow a gradual decline into death, then old age gives humans the opportunityto become more accustomed to the idea of their death. modus ponens; therefore Old age gives humans the opportunity to become more accustomed to the idea of their death., If biotechnology could be used to avoid the period in life of old age and Old age gives humans the opportunity to become more accustomed to the idea of their death, then Using biotechnology may cause death to become an unacceptable end to their lives modus ponens; therefore Using biotechnology may cause death to become an unacceptable end to life., Modern science is also the reason for the long lives and good health care that exist today, along with many of our luxeries. objects (ConfScheme) In the past, altering the body (through medication, surgery, etc.) to improve or enhance life has produced unanticipated side effects., A defining characteristic of humanity is that the individual must exert effort in order to acheive self-improvement. modus ponens; therefore Using biotechnology to acheive perfection will cause a loss of humanity., If using biotechnology to pursue human perfection could produce side effects on a scale not seen in human history, then biotechnology should not be used to purue human perfection. modus ponens; therefore Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., Using biotechnology to pursue perfection could produce side effects on a scale not seen in human history. modus ponens; therefore Biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., Death is a natural cycle of life, the way God invisioned; cheating it is cheating God Supports If using biotechnology to pursue human perfection may cause death to become an unacceptalbe end to life, then biotechnology should not be used to pursue human perfection., In the past, altering the body (through medication, surgery, etc.) to improve or enhance life has produced unanticipated side effects. modus ponens; therefore Using biotechnology to alter the body could produce unanticipated side effects., People have always wanted to see the success of human capacity and Biotechnology only defeats the power of human ability and success Supports A defining characteristic of humanity is that the individual must exert effort in order to acheive self-improvement., A defining characteristic of humanity is that the individual must exert effort in order to acheive self-improvement and Biotechnology can be used to effortlessly acheive goals and outcomes, then Using biotechnology to acheive perfection will cause a loss of humanity. modus ponens;

therefore Using biotechnology to pursue perfection could produce side effects on a scale not seen in human history., If this were always true, then the more athletic athletes would have to have their natural abilities cut down to compete against lesser competition as the only differense between a natural born athelete and one designed by man is that the natural athelete was luckier at birth. objects (ConfScheme) With regard to enhancing performance, biotechnology and steroids are exactly the same., If in the past, altering the body (through medication, surgery, etc.) to improve or enhance life has produced unanticipated side effects, then using biotechnology to alter the body could produce unanticipated side effects modus ponens; therefore Using biotechnology to alter the body could produce unanticipated side effects.
