Just a little super human In human DNA and animal DNA, mixing them honestly is not wrong. The company rules out the idea of mixing DNA or altering its composition due to the consequences. The idea that mutations may occur is a concern that generally factors into this decision. While there are many things that could go wrong, the positives go unexamined due to the high likelihood of negatives. Overall, DNA mixing isn't a bad idea, it's actually just viewed the wrong way and people don't look at alternative viewpoints. Just think of the good that could happen with this simplistic change. Superheroes could be everyday: stronger and better people, longer life, better health and even an increase in population. This would benefit not only the individual, but would cause the entire ecosystem of a population to progress. Better yet, we may gain a better understanding of the genetic makeup of these individuals with alterations. This could then lead to cures or a better understanding of many problems such as diseases. Such theoretical opinions exist here: “A technical breakthrough in gene splicing by experts at the University of Northern BC may lead to a better understanding of genetic disorders such as spinal muscular atrophy and some types of dwarfism.” (Prince). These simple steps taken for a small change could have a big impact on the general scientific fields of man. With this some may argue about the negative coding of mutations in DNA. Yes, that would be an existing risk that needs to be taken into account. There's no denying it, but focusing only on the negatives won't get us anywhere. To find a solution we must not only take into account the negative aspects, but also the positive aspects that may exist. Our general human population could be so perfect, but instead we let the subtle variations of unbelievers guide us in our decision.
