Advances in genetic science raise significant ethical, social, and legal concerns, highlighting the dual nature of progress in this field. The completion of the Human Genome Project has led to notable benefits in genomic medicine, including improved disease diagnosis and gene therapy. However, there are fears that these advancements may foster intolerance towards disability and genetic diversity. Additionally, the potential for humans to manipulate their own genome poses questions about the implications of striving for a "perfect" human species.
