Both words clash simultaneously especially in the era where science are advancing. Although most people have adopted a postmodernism way of thinking, the issue regarding genetic modification are still controversial.
I myself has a christian background and is currently an undergraduate in biotechnology, however I have a really deep interest regarding gene therapy and CRISPR.
What is YOUR view regarding the issue regarding gene therapy/modification and ethical issue.

Re: Science and Ethics
The overriding limit is 'foolproofing.'
If the process is foolproof upon exhausting testings, I have no qualms correlating with gene therapy & CRISPR with Morality and Ethics.
Given the present incremental trend of an exponential expansion of knowledge and technology especially in genomics and neurosciences, I believe such foolproofing is likely to be possible within the next 200 years, but what should we do now till then.
