Among all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biological engineeringas people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Discussions about it is increasingly heated around the world.
The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almostdo nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied,not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved. Therefore, it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命)can be prolonged.
Some families have genetic diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. In the past, doctorscould do nothing about genetic diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. Scientists just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born. Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to create human beings in large
quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning animals such as mice, sheep, and dogs; therefore, these people predictthat human babies would soon be cloned（克隆）and that it would be beyond control, leading to some disastrous consequences. But many believe that cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, formost couples in the world can have babies in a very normal way and they also believe the governments will control gene technology and make laws to make sure the gene technology will help better our lives instead of harming us.
