Changing Your Genes - A new Future?

Scientists have developed methods to modify individual genes through specific enzymes. In monkeys they have been able to disrupt a potentially harmful gene in an embryo so the result is an unaffected baby. As well, in preliminary experiments they have managed to modify a defective or mutant gene.

This is very early in the modification of genes, but the concerns are of designer genes and modifications once this technique gets perfected. On the other hand it could become a boon to parents with genetic defects concerned about passing them on to their children.
