Genetic Engineering has been a great issue since it was discovered. Many people disagree on the application of this technology because it modifies the nature of living things. Although the main purpose of the technology is to cure diseases that are incurable, still, many people say it is wrong to modify God’s creation. Their religion and moral values are their basis of stand against the technology. As of today many genetic engineering has accomplished a lot in the field of medicine and health such as gene therapy that has proven to cure some types of cancer and genetic disorders.
The Blade Runner: Director’s Cut, is about advance science in the field of genetics. They create human-like creatures they called ‘replicants’ and used them as slaves. A blade runner is the assigned to retired these replicants which illegally entered the planet earth. The movie somehow emphasizes that humans should not create creatures in our own design because it may bring us problems we don’t expect. We should not abuse any of our knowledge and technologies. We should know our limitations.
